W_T_F vs. MKovner

[mike0292]

Mkovner runs around 20/17 and I'm a little laggier. I'm generally known to be active PF and aggressive post but I haven't tangled with Kovner too much. I respect his game and recognize him from the PP days and have seen him play as high as 5/10 I think. Fairly solid overall though, not too tricky. We played this hand earlier:

Hero had 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (a pair of Sevens) and LOST (-$394.00)

With my image, I was ready to reluctantly stack off if he outflopped me. Turn was a tough one, but I felt that a c/r ai if he bet and if he checked to bet the river biggish would be better because that's how I would play a flush draw. But then WTF at the push. I feel like its a pretty stupid way to bluff, maybe he wants me to make a hero call?
