Hey DD-

Trying to put myself in villian's shoes...

Suppose I raised hero on the turn with 7c7x and gotten called. Some hands I would include in his range are pocket pairs also containing a club. Now if he donks an ace river, I'd have to consider that it might be a two-way bet (i.e., he might be betting something like JcJx hoping I made a free show down raise with a smaller pair/flush draw, or if not, that I might spaz and fold two red queens or even kings). This wouldn't be a terrible bet considering the pot size. So I think it's correct to raise the river X% of the time with two sevens.

I just think that when an opponent is the type who will sometimes try and out-think you, hands you deem to have enough value to bet the river, probably still have enough value to call a raise.
