fwiw iput him on Ace or slow played Tx. I doubt he calls flop oop with nothing here.

you have position with a hand that is good in position. so i think i'd call preflop; also because no one ever folds preflop to a 3bet when stealing

That explains a lot.

I would probably call here PF. 97s plays great against his range, we have position and can easily float him.

I don't hate the 3bet and would probably do it more than I should if I am annoyed at his steals. If I 3bet, I play exactly the same way you did. Were not beating much here. nice hand.

Am I missing something here? I always try to steal back a pot if the CO/Button has a high steal % and I'm holding a decent hand. Works at least 70% of the time.

[Somnius]

If you think he's stealing...then why would you just call...to get value?...if you think he's stealing and believe you can take it down now...then ye reraise...

What's his WSD%...if he's been robbing you for a few orbits then honestly it'd be hard to even fold this river...esp considering you're getting 3-1...and well you're making it sound as if he's basically just playing the blinds game...if that's true why is his range so perfectly coordinated with the board all of a sudden?

[derosnec]

good points. my thinking was sloppy i suppose.

[Somnius]

I just re-noticed we have a pair of 7s...even considering he might be betting light I'd still fold this river, but everything else looks good imo.

[bozzer]

a 3bet is totally fine in this situation BvB - it's almost standard.

the rest of your line looks good, i don't like folding to that river bet but obviously we can't call and i think he looks us up a lot if we raise.
