You need to let it go pre-flop

Raising donkbets is standard but raising pot-sized donkbets on a sunshine flop when you have no pair no draw is a bit bullish for me

ffs well thats not my style... and that advice is not really helpful..

Change the cards slightly then to A9s (clubs pf) Im sure most raise there then...

Mm. No offense, but you need to learn to crawl before you walk. Talking about "style" here is a little early I'd say.

Also, I love me some stealin', but it's best to have some value to go along so if you get action you might flop big. T7s = yes... T7o not so much. This problem is evident here where if he calls this raise you basically have no chance of winning unless you sack up and push the turn or something. So yes, FPS, and you don't need that to make money off this guy.

One more thing - what's to "let go?" You have T hi, no pair, no draw. If you planned on making a play on this guy from the get-go because of a read, that's called a "read-based play" and you are welcome to spew all the chips you want to try to get him to fold. But I have a feeling if your read was that laser-accurate to begin with this post wouldn't be here.

Raising a 52% VPIP with T7o as a steal is probably not profitable in the long term. Maybe if he were tighter and likes coming in cheap, then sure. But I don't think that's the case here.

The flop is spew, and would be with A9 as well.
