77 UTG against SB

[Luzion]

Still trying to learn how to play medium pairs better. How did I play the flop and turn? I planned to fold if he reraised me on the flop, or raised me on the turn. Would you guys have tried to value bet the river?

SB was 38/22/1.71 over 32hands.

Thanks for any comments guys! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'll value bet that river alot. AK pays off here more often than AT or a big pair plays it this way.

I bet the river and expect a call from something like AQ or AK. I like the rest of the hand.

Thanks for the comments guys, but quick question.

If I bet the river and got check-raised... easy fold right?

You're rarely getting check-raised here. If you do, I might just pay off to see why he played his hand so crazy.
