100NL paired board play

[Exar_Kun]

Standard? villain could very well be making a cbet here, and I have a pair.

I don't like calling here because any card that falls over a 7 could beat me.

Btw surely my hand is pretty irrelevant here because don't have that much show down value here unless he calls and checks twice??

I guess this is fine. I would prefer just floating here and see what villain does on the turn though.

If you want to make a move, just float it.

The problem with raising the flop is that your hand looks more like a bluff or a flush draw. Floating and doing this on a safe turn would achieve the desired effect better. ALso raising more than 3 x is unneceesary as 3x has the same effect but you lose $3 less when it doesn't succeed.
