Considering I've been sucked out on 10 out of 10 times in this same type of situation. Do you make a call here? I know if I didn't call from early position. I might not even be in this mess. So what do you do.

I wouldn't limp UTG w/ 77 here unless the table is quite passive and you expect to get calls after you. I raise here to 450 probably or fold the hand. On the flop there is no way you can fold your hand. Don't start with this crap. Bad beat police sigh

how can you think of calling all in with the second nuts on the flop. Fold that in a second moron.

I dont know whether you were being sarcastic or not. But how do you lay it down knowing you are above 70% to win the hand against the flush draw. Hell, if they had pocket aces, I would have known preflop. So please justify how I can fold this in this situation.

he was being sarcastic

you were bluffed against, he assumed you had a weak ace. by rights it was your hand. you just got unlucky.

its more a bad beat post than anything this.

just keep making these plays, and they come good in the long run. just remember, if your a 70% fave, there is a 30% chance youll lose. it sucks but thats why poker is so challenging.
