Default 77 hand

CO is unknown. SB is 53/35 after 25 hands, but those hands where 3 handed, and he seems pretty competent/aggressive. Anyone call the river if its a blank?

I think you should fold to the flop 3bet

What does he 3bet the flop with? He's OOP so he can't take a freecard on the turn...

Higher pair more than 2.5:7.5 imho

Guess you lucked into your hand. Turn and river are fine again, you seem pwnd on the flop after that 3-bet. I can fold 7's in that spot, I guess.

You can't fold to the flop 3 bet IMO. I actually think there's a decent chance you still have the best hand against this guy, and we have around 3 outs on the flop if we don't.

against someone with more reasonable stats, you could fold on the flop. but i think this guy can have A4, A6, or some other weird hands often enough to call

Hero doesnt have to be good on the flop more than 2.5:7.5.

- There is a non-zero chance that villain has 6x or 4x or a draw

- There is a non zero chance Hero will get a free card on the turn. (Though he should prolly bet if checked to on most turns.)

- Hero has 2 set outs and a backdoor straight. 3 outs to improve.

- Prolly not against this player but Hero has a chance to pick up the pot by folding a better hand when an A or K turns.

I considered 3-betting preflop as an option, don't know if it's right or wrong.
