How Would You Have Played Pocket 7s?

[BruceF]

For all of you SSHE disciples - how would you have played the flop in the following scenario:

.25/.50 limit at UB - I'm on the button with 77. Villain is MP2.

PF - Villain bets, MP3 calls, CO calls and button (Hero) calls.

Flop comes: K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 3 /images/graemlins/club.gif

Villain bets, MP3 folds, CO calls, Hero - ?????

Fold without a good read.

What's the pot size? Without sufficient pot odds to get your 2-outer, this is an easy fold.

Small pot, no reads, easy fold.

Dave - the pot was very small - 4.5 SB

Thanks all for reinforcing my play. I did fold, but I had a couple of hands last night where I folded and had I bet backdoor str8's/flushes, I would have won some nice size pots. Since I lost a little last night (and I HATE to lose), I started questioning whether or not I was aggressive enough.

In this hand, a 7 fell on the river and at the time I questioned whether or not I should have stayed in. You all just reinforced that it was the right play, considering the pot size and my pot and implied odds.

Getting 7.5:2 I would think about folding it preflop... any thoughts?

in late position 77 you have to call according to SSH chart..

which he did

You are going to see that kind of thing all the time.

Yyou fold a 35sooted and the flop comes 246 of your suit. I had a 250 hand session last night where I walked away with a positive 1BB (and thankful for it lol) Had a set of J's busted by a set of K's etc. etc.

You already know the key, make your plays when you have the best of it and not be results oriented /images/graemlins/smile.gif Good Luck!

Easy call pre-flop, implied odds and position will pay off well when he hits.
