villain limps a LOT, is not very good and is predictable. preflop is obviously debatable, but with position i sometimes make this play. i called flop because there were many many cards that he would be scared of and then check fold the turn. He actually made the same bet of 200 on the turn so i thoguth he was weak and didn't think he could call without the 7 or a flush.
do you guys like this play?

I think I hate every street. I'd suggest tightening up, you don't need to try and outplay these guys.

ya well normally i fold because 10J can be real crap sometimes but did you even look at the turn card!!?!?

It's a bluffable board at that point, but all you have is a gutshot and a J high flush draw on a paired board. I think you'll profit more tightening up instead of trying to outplay these guys postflop.

dont try to outplay nits they will pay you off enough to not have to fight for pots
just fold pf and your life will be easier.
fold the flop too
shame on you for this hand ever occurring

ya this is what i thought i would expect. no room for expanding thought on this idea i see.

no. no theres not. Youre risking your tournament life here. What if villain has the nut flush? You think hes going to fold three sevens? Even ace 9 at this level?
I think you get called here 80% of the time. Your just risking too much. Fold pf, limping there is a leak.

ITM and deepish, this looks fine. Here, it's a fold preflop, a fold on the flop and a fold on the turn.
