meh.. calling 12BB and hoping one of 'em doesnt have the flush, 6, or T... I don't know. Doesnt seem like a great opportunity. You've only put like 160 in the pot.

If BB would be a complete donk (which I guess he is) I would be more inclined to call. If MP2 were a complete donk I'd be more inclined to call.
If MP2 is a good player, I'd definitely fold as I don't see him raising here with AJ and not raising the turn... He would have raised his 555 or 777 hand aswell. Really nothing you'd beat he would raise with on the river. ( he would call behind his lower set or 2pair hand, and hope to win the pot )

I don't think you are almost ever good here. I don't think it is a bad move by MP2 here on a bluff, because a lot of the time BB is tardbetting a bare spade or something just as silly. Problem is that your set is about as weak as a set gets.

Fold and sigh.

suzzer99: folds
*** SHOW DOWN ***
jasman09: shows [As 7d] (a pair of Sevens)
pajaro1605: shows [5h 7h] (two pair, Sevens and Fives)


I agree though I think folding was the right play.
