ok here goes. Am i playing to loose in this because the pot so small ?
My read on CO was that ha was loose aggresive. he had stats of around 25%,15%,2.5 and was raising alot without much of a hand.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
4 folds, MP2 calls, 1 fold, CO calls, 2 folds, Hero checks.

Flop: (3.50 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, MP2 checks, CO bets, Hero raises, MP2 folds, CO calls.

my thoughts here was that if he had a A or a PP higher than 7 he would have raised it preflop. should i still fold this even though i thought i was ahead ? becouse there is so much that can beat me on the turn.

I would probably fold the flop
I there was a backdoor flush I would probably raise for a free cards

Yeah, definitely fold the flop. Your position in relation to the flop bettor is kinda bad since you have to act before him, and I can easily see him calling down with an ace or a 7. Also, your reverse implied odds suck. Any card above a seven, or a club, will further decrease the chances that you hold the best hand.

In such a small pot, this looks like a relatively simple fold.

Why not lead the flop and fold to a raise?

Probably not too bad, but what if he just calls? Do we fire off again?

*grunch*

i like here b/f
and turn also b/f
river is probably also bet/fold or induce bluff with this type of agro villian (he can hold busted FD)

as played : RIO and small pot = easy fold

Gets a little tougher of course as more overcards present themselves; but we are HU, we do have a piece of the flop, and we did come to play.

This villain (by his stats) appears pretty aggressive so if he is beating us he will usually let us know. Also, I think this villain might play either the flush draw or an A,low kicker this way but he probably won't keep drawing to missed over cards. I bet until raised and fold to a raise.

A kicker of 3, with second pair in a miniscule pots. Let him have it.

Small pot, I just fold on the flop. I don't want to put a lot of bets in if he is just going to call down with a weak ace that wasn't good enough to raise preflop.
