2 Pair Innocent Looking Board

[SpartanCA]

Okay so villan is 29/14/4 cold called raises light. I figured he could easily have an Ax as well so figured i would just call him down to the end from the Turn onwards, when the 7 appeared felt pretty confident i had the best hand. What are peoples thoughts on this? Good play bad play?

Oh yeh didnt continuation bet as these guys always called or re-raised me.

Fold preflop especially UTG. poorly played on every street IMO.

[SpartanCA]

Care to eleborate, telling me i played badly on every street doesnt really help. I can sorta agree preflop but in fairness the table was overall tight so i was raising more to steal more.

I wud probably make a standard c-bet here.. If bb raise, easy fold.. If he calls then I fire again on the turn and fold to a raise (which i'm pretty sure will come on that street). As played when u raise river ur probably committed.. I wud most likely just call on the end, unless reads of him value-betting light..

[Kelley22]

Raising from early position with hands like this is a major leak from low stake players I believe. Unless you hit a flush your hand is not going to play very well post flop.

Also if you are going to raise pre with this hand you have to Cbet almost any flop and this hand plays easier.

As for the turn I don't mind the call as long as your intentions are to reevaluate on the river.

I really really hate that river min raise becuase he has show considerable strength on the turn and river. At this limit you are going to get a lot of hands call out of the SB and BB. I would not be supprised to see 3 5 a lot here.

As played I would just call river but like I said fold PF.

[SpartanCA]

Okay thanks that helps i really appreciate it.

Preflop: Fold
Flop: If you're playing A7s UTG you absolutely have to c-bet, that's a dry flop and a great place to try and swipe the pot especially after an UTG raise. If they're "always calling or raising you," you definitely have to tighten up out of position.
Turn: I probably fold if BB's a reasonable player (or even an unreasonable passive player), he's representing an ace or better and any kicker beats you. Against an unknown I call against and fold to most river bets.
River: If I'm going to raise here I'm going to shove it all in. Given action, I probably just call because he potted the river and that's often a very big hand, though I don't hesitate to shove with the right read.

[Profish2285]

Other than folding pre flop: your reasoning for playing this hand was because the table was tight and easy to steal from. So then steal, why didnt you c-bet this flop? Its very dry and unlikely to hit villains. Then, why didnt you raise the turn? The only point of the hand you played correctly was the river raise, but then I fold to the 3 bet. If the table was very tight, what hands do you beat that 3 bet/shove this river?
