River bet is good. Cant really think of either of them having a better hand. Not sure what HJ plays like this but I dont think its a better hand.

Flop seems fine. After HJ coldcalls the flop the turn scares me, but Im not sure what else to do.

Ben,

I like how you played this hand. I'm not really sure what to do on the the turn other than b/f. What do you do if HJ raises the river? What's your plan on a blank rivers?

I like donking the flop and calling down if HJ raises more than c/r'ing in this situation. Rest of hand is standard

I guess you're in AC now (from your previous posts), and I play these games a decent amount. I think after the flop play you're behind a lot here. I think you should just check/fold the turn. The pro has a pair bigger than your 7's I think, and he thinks you're a spazzy punk kid, and he's gonna call you down.

Then again, once you bet the turn, the river bet is good, as a bluff, becuase it puts his 88, 99, TT in an awkward, awkward spot.

In general I don't think this works enough in AC to be right. I think its closer to a spew, than a +EV line.

sorry, didn't realized you spiked two-pair on river. now its clearly a value bet, because they're calling with lots here. also, you seem comfortable bet/folding, so its easy line for you here.

The river bet seems like a no brainer to me.

Your turn bet is the more interesting decision, and I am not crazy about it.

I liked the turn bet. It puts pressure on several hands that have us beat.

No hand that beats us is folding on the turn.

Would this be an easy call on the turn if you were the HJ and had a pair like 88,99,TT,JJ? I suppose if you had a read that the BB was aggressive it would be, but if your read was the BB was straightforward it might be a little more difficult. I am curious what you guys would do if you were the HJ with these hands.

I usually donk this flop but I don't mind the check-raise here. The HJ will bet here 100% given this board and after you check-raise, I think it is more likely he will let go of his overcards since he might be drawing close to dead(from his point of view). I would bet out if the board were 742 rainbow.
