I would bet turn on this board if you're calling the flop.

I in general just fold this preflop. An ace high flop is pretty good to float though, but why in the world wouldn't you bet the turn? You are just trying to show down 77 here?

I think these are 3 things i might do differently:
1) fold preflop sometimes, I probably fold preflop most of the time here without history between me a SB (like he re-raises me all the time or he is a giant spew box)

2)sometimes give up on the flop

3)sometimes raise the flop small

4)bet the turn as a bluff

Trying to show down 77 in a re-raised pot on an Ace high flop is probably not a good idea. He might even be betting KK for value on the river here if he is good.

I'd fold peflop, certainly without a read. I normally fold flop too but if you call, then betting turn seems good a idea. He could be bluffing on river, but it's pretty hard to call.

As it turned out I think youre facing a check raise allin on turn anyways. I dont think there is too srong a reason not to fold flop.

You can do all 3 things preflop. Flop, raise or fold as you have little showdown value. I like pushing better with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I guess.

How often do you raise OOP with middle PPs?

Pretty much almost always, just in the blinds I don't sometimes.

Cool. I was curious, because with PPs &lt; 99, I almost never raise unless I am in CO or button. So many flops you will see that will not be good.
