Default Get sexy with top set? 77 in the BB

Same 20/40 game as before. My image is probably tightish and spazzy, as I have been running poorly, but I won a hand 5 minutes ago with KK against one of the bigger calling stations, so it might be a bit more solid. Onto the hand.

Semi-aggro player raises in EMP, total fish calls, folds to me in the BB and I call 77.

Flop:

7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I check, PFR bets, fish calls, I raise, PFR 3-bets, fish calls.

Cap and lead the turn or call and try C/R the turn?

I think this is an easy smooth call and turn checkraise. No reaistic draws. The presence of the fish makes the smooth call checkraise a cinch play I think. This is a wet dream hand by the way.

I CR this every day of the week and twice on sunday. I am a big street whore and the fish calling that flop often means "me have pair, me calling all bets to spike my 5 outer". Getting him trapped in for another turn bet (or two) with what looks pretty likley to be an overpair is way too juicy to pass up.

I think people too frequently cr the turn when leading is better, but this spot is prime for the turn check-raise b/c you can trap the fish without forcing him to call 2 bets cold. great spot to use it. that said, capping flop isn't much worse.

Tight and spazzy usually don't go together. Perfect place to call and check raise them both.

You are absoulutely right, I don't. Maybe you could explain it to me. Are you just being sarcastic in your original reply?
