Playing 77 as a float (midpair)
Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 6 Players
Hero (SB): $24.25 BB: $23.90 UTG: $22.60 MP: $24.35 CO: $17.35 BTN: $25.65 Preflop: Hero is dealt 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (6 Players) 2 folds, <font color="red">CO raises to $0.85</font>, BTN folds, Hero calls $0.75, BB folds Flop: ($1.95) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players) Hero checks, <font color="red">CO bets $1.95</font>, Hero calls $1.95 Turn: ($5.85) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players) <font color="red">Hero bets $4.00</font>, CO calls $4.00 River: ($13.85) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players) <font color="red">Hero bets $4.00</font>, CO folds Uncalled bet of $4.00 returned to Hero Pot Size: $13.85 ($0.65 Rake) Villain is pretty new to the table, but didn't seem like a station. The turn bet was meant just to take the pot down for overcards that missed. River improved us to a set, but the flush draw obviously hit as well. What's the best river line? Bet/call Bet/fold check/call

Re: Playing 77 as a float (midpair)
post flop is ok up to the river why did you bet so little?
I prob wouldnt donk out on the turn but I think lead is ok but its pretty much just a bluff.

Re: Playing 77 as a float (midpair)
I like your flop and turn lines against an unknown. I think check/call is the best play on the river because you'll get bluffs from more hands you beat than you'll get calls when betting the river flush card.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't see the turn bet as a bluff, I think against most of an unknown's range it's a value bet. I put villain on two broadways or a flush draw much more often than a Q or better PP.

Throwing a blocking bet of $4-$7 on the river is a good move, IMHO. If he raises you have a decision, but I like it. [/ QUOTE ] This was the original plan, but the problem is that if he shoves on top of me, I'll getting crazy odds to call because of the amount in the pot and his slightly short stack.

Re: Playing 77 as a float (midpair)
I'm not bad over the turn donk. I really don't see any worse hands calling this and your hand is too weak to call if this bet induces a turn bluff raise. Checking the turn gives villain the chance to bet weaker hands that he'd have otherwise folded giving us higher EV on the play.

Anyone repop this pf to like 2.25 or so? [/ QUOTE ] Ya, a re-raise preflop isn't bad. Sometimes it makes it easier to play these middle pairs. I probably call here 60-70% of the time, r/r around 30-40%
