bets and calls a c/r...

sb or bb would likely have gotten their turn c/r in if they had a 7.

...bets. It's not even close, as nobody has shown any indication whatsoever that they have the 7 and any pair will call you (possibly an A high or two). If check/raised, it comes down to how many people are left to act behind you, and whether or not you think they'll call another bet. I would lean towards 3-betting, as any hand that'll call 1 more is likely to call 2.

Really? Interesting line of thinking. I did bet out, but I would call a raise or c/r in this spot I think.

Easy bet. I can't see myself ever 3-betting a c/r though.

This is a ridiculously easy river bet. Don't fear that the 1 card in the deck that beats you is specifically in one of your opponent's hands. You beat everything else, and there will be callers, so bet!

well since you forgot to delete the color, it's obvious you did bet it, and it was ridiculously easy of you to bet...

a better question is what to do if raised?

i'd seriously consider 3-betting... and probably just call. too weak/tight?

NEO (Non-Expert Opinion) I am betting the river and calling a raise, though a re-raise is probably good too as you have hand no raise post flop or turn to indicate a 7,
