Stars 3r: 77 Blind Battle

Villain is loose, limping range out of the blinds is wide, his complete range is a2c, my image is maniac from rebuy period and probably a little loose after the rebuy period also. Is this standard? If not, how is this line?

Kleath --

Most of these guys aren't going to c/r bluff (or thinly checkraise valuebet) the turn after the preflop and flop action goes as it did. So I prefer bet/folding the turn (you avoid the free card and often get extra value). Depending on the river card, timing tells, etc., another valuebet or a check-behind could be in order on the river.

Also, I'd often make it 800 preflop. Flop bet size and call of the c/r are both good. As played the river call is good.

I like it as played. I think you see a 3 here alot or missed DD(Jd possible).

I was about to post that I feel letting him bluff the river is better since a large part of his range is air, but I agree that bet/fold turn is superior because I can get some value out of a 3 maybe an ace and dont give him a free card for random middle cards, though I think its pretty close because as mentioned in the beginning I'm pretty sure a large part of his range is air on this board, the actual hand illustrates a problem to checking though because it's a pretty bad card. Thanks for the feedback
