A Pair of Sevens

[David BB]

Looking for thoughts on the way I played this hand. The pot was already huge on the flop and I felt there was a good chance that CO had high cards and MP1 could have just about anything. So I decided to take a card off and bet out on a safe card to test CO and prevent a free card - planning to fold to a raise. I check the river because I think CO is unlikely to pay me off with ace-high on that board and I might induce a bluff, also MP1's hand is still a mystery.

MP1 is extremely loose/passive. No read on CO.

HU it's an alright line. However, even with MP1 being extremely loose passive I don't like doing this with him there. If he has [censored], you still have to dodge some of his [censored] too. He could be just a flush card but you still have to dodge all of his flush draw cards that are above 7. I don't like it.

I just really hate your turn bet. I think this has to be a check-fold on the turn.
