Preflop: Hero is BB with 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 <font color="#A500AF">(Villian)</font> raises to t40</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls t30, Hero calls t20.
Flop: (t120) 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/club.gif, 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Villian bets t60</font>, SB folds, Hero calls t60.
Normally, it's no set, no bet, but here I had a feeling that he might just be betting overcards. It kind of spawned from a discussion on the MTT about Gavin Griffin's call with 22. I don't claim to be as good as he is, but I didn't want to wuss out here against a potential AK.
Turn: (t240) 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Villian bets t100</font>, Hero calls t100.

<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t150</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Villian raises to t300</font>, Hero calls t150.
The river bet was a blocking bet. Hopefully villian woudln't have the balls to raise me, but he might have bet out himself more than that 150 I bet out myself. Ultimately, I thought there was a good change I was ahead and the fact that the pot odds I beleive were in my favor to make the call
Final Pot: t1040

Hero has 7h 7d (full house, nines full of sevens).

My thinking here is that I'm ahead. But when vilian calls me from SB, what am I supposed to do from here? There aren't any draws out there. I shouldn't be totally afraid of a 6, but stranger things have happened. He might be on a K with a weaker kicker for all I know

Villian checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t600</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Villian raises to t970</font>, Hero calls t370.
The Ace helps me, but if I'm behind a 6 I'm still behind, drawing to 6 outs. If he does have a King with a weaker kicker, he'll probably fold to any bet here. Should I have not bet here? What about the call on the end? Standard?
