Default Re: Are my 7\'s strong enough to continue here?!?

Anyone like a raise to 180? Fold to any further action. If we weren't deep, I prefer the plan of calling and getting it in on the turn.

Basically the reasoning behind the raise is to get him to fold any overs he's bluffing with, plus it will hopefully get him to fold medium pairs TT-88. Which may be in his range. I know we are turning our hand into a bluff but I don't mind doing that in this spot. The only way the showdown value of our hand comes into play is if he has a flush draw, calls Flop and checks the T+R unimproved.

This is based on him being FOS a lot. Folding is probably best but I prefer this to calling.

Continuing with the 77 is pretty spewy. What range can he have that you are good against? Most draws are flipping and if you just call down he will VB own you.

A decent villain puts you on a very precise range after your call. And then he might outplay you on turn and river even if you have the better hand.

I just wanted to write some advice for turn and river, but I cant. And so I think folding is the right decision.
