this one was @#$%^&ed...25/50 set on a one card straight board...

[dlpnyc21]

Villian in the hand is chsgoldy, a 24/15/1.5 regular winner. This one was kind of spooky, all around. I'm not even sure if I like my flop bet on the hand, but I am betting this flop with a very wide range so I guess it's not terrible. Here is where the hand gets interesting. He crs. A lot of the time I am just folding this flop and moving on, but with my gutty and the flush draw on board I thought I might be ahead of his range (especially since I have the blockers), so I called. When he checks this turn, I am pretty sure he doesn't have that strong of a hand. However, I can't see any point in betting this turn...anyone disagree.

The river is the most interesting street however. FD misses, I set up, one card straight on board. He checks?? WTF??? Does anyone like a value bet? I bet. Then he CRAI. I can't really see him having 87 here so wtf?

Advice on all streets welcome, the whole hand felt very odd to me, and I was extremely confused when he checked to me on the river.

thanks,

I'd vomit and fold...but I'd also prob check the river

[D104]

His line looks so bluffy and there is a chance he could be value betting a worse hand, so I call.

Would a 7 really check this river? I doubt it, since you probably check behind a large majority of your range.

I also like the idea of checking the flop.

I bet the turn just to take it down, and because im not sure whether I have the best hand or not.

Dunno if that's the optimal play here though.

River i'd do as crablar, vomit and fold. I always bet the river as you.

[AcidKnight]

I like the flop bet as well as the turn check.

On the river, I am probably checking behind just to avoid the spot that you're now in. I think it's a good play to check the river on his part if he has 7xcc or QTcc or a hand like that. Those are the only two hands that I'd worry about since it really seems that he'd bet the turn with any other holding like a set, straight or 2 pair to protect his hand.

I don't think that he'd value shove a hand like 55, 66 or even 99 here. It seems like this is one of those hands where he's got a straight or a busted flush draw almsot all of the time.

call it down, you only have 110BB to start and I can't see how any 7 made this play besides A7s...

[HERE_2_gamble_]

River is 100% bet, He's hardly ever getting credit for the straight so id be thinking how often am i bet/folding this river( whether it be value-bet/fold or bluff) If you try to take away alot of pots i call and if not i fold.

[rand]

i play the exactly the same

as far as the river i think it goes either way really easily but i think more often then not im calling this, i can only see this action w/ A7cc and QTcc... but with a read history etc this becomes easier-anyway good hand i dont really care about the results but what did u end up doing?

[Notfunny1]

I think I call a river check-raise almost every time the turn is checked through. How can he plan a cr if he shouldn't expect you to bet. But maybe your image comes into play here, do you check behind on the turn a lot for control or do you double barrel more often?

why does this plan or whatever have to be construed before the river? he could have been shooting for clubs st8d it instead...id cr this river against a good player for value with any straight and maybe the higher sets
