Welcome to the forum. Please read the FAQ to find the location for a hand converter.

[allintime333]

the converter is not working for me I have tried flopturnriver and the one in the FAQ but it will not load any hands

[OziBattler]

did u post the full text of the hand into FTR converter?...including the bit right at the top that isnt in what you posted here in OP?

You can also try The Deuces Cracked Converter which is relatively new and pretty easy.

First, I would have just called preflop from MP with 77 after 1 EP limper, on what I imagine was probably a loose table.

On the flop, you become heads up after the SB bets.

You dont know whether the SB has a better hand than you, such as top pair or is betting a draw.

If you decide to call down and have the worse hand it will cost you 2.5 big bets.

However if you raise the flop, call a 3-bet and fold the turn unimproved, it will only cost you 1.5 big bets.

So, I think that, yes I would prefer raising the flop to calling.

But if he is just called, does he then bet the turn?

[KitCloudkicker]

dont raise the flop.

and lol at raising to see where you're at. are we still taking lines like this?

[CrMenace]

Popping preflop is correct in my opinion -- with few in, I play my middle pairs like big ones; with many in I play them like small ones.

On the flop, you're up against four and haven't hit your set. You're getting 9:1 to catch your set, plus BDSD. The odds aren't good enough if you're behind, but there's still a good chance you're ahead. I think it's worth seeing a turn and going from there. Rest of the hand looks good.

I don't mind raising. You can use the raise, bet, check line, to get a cheap showdown. It's not super coordinated, so if we get 3bet, we can probably let go.
