raise the turn a little more...make it 111 or something....

river is fine...

[shpanko]

if you raise more on the turn, your river bet will be small enough that he'll have to call.

i raise the flop a few extra bucks (~31). it might not seem much, but it adds up to the river, especially this deep.
i like the turn w/ your read. just make it more. if hes putting in any more money he'll call more as well. makes river easier.

[Froetloeps]

Oke I'm a beginner, so don't shoot me if I say "stupid things" I appreciate feedback on my feedback.

This is what I would do

I would just call preflop, 77 UTG is to marginal to raise with even in a 5-handed game

On the flop I would do about the same as you do (I would just call if there was 1 player in the hand, now raise because of 2 players)

Turn you should bet. Betting disquises your set better then checking. You say you have a big hand by raising on the flop, the turn comes a blank, so you still have a big hand and now you check? Very suspicious. If I was him I wouldn’t bet, and just check behind you (which will cost you money, because good players check behind in this situation imo).
You should bet about $35.

River
He calls a raise preflop
He bets and calls a raise on the lop
He bets and calls a raise on the turn

With what kind of hands would he do this? He can only call this with a hand you can beat if he is a bad player. He can only call this with a hand that beats yours if he is a good player. You should decide what he is and if you are willing to bet all your money on your read. I would prefer to bet 1/4 pot on the river (bit weak)

looks a bit like 56 to me but regardless really, good advice already given, raise slightly more flop, makes the turn add more $$$ to the pot obviously, sets up a smaller and more easily called river bet. PS: I wouldn't pay much attention to the newcomers post above as the advice isn't too great (no offence)

Yeah no offence to you, but saying "ignore the noob advice, it's no good" and not saying why is a bit douchey.

I'll comment on your pre-flop advice for starters. 77 is more than good enough to raise in a 5-handed game. By just limping, you're pretty much playing for set value, and turning a decent hand into crap 7 times out of 8.

If you raise you have a good chance of taking it down preflop, or getting heads up so you can take the pot with a cont-bet on the flop. Also...the times you do flop a set your hand is more disguised.

I thought I left a good amount to push on the river....my flop raisewas kind weak, but that flop is pretty dry and i just wanted to build up pot and hoped villian had something like aj, or any 2pr

[Cue-Ball 66]

Yeah but making your raise slightly larger on the turn makes it much easier for him to call river.
