SB checks, Hero.....?

Note the stack sizes. MP1 has $11 left and SB has $33 left. Also, I felt I should have bet the turn a little harder. Do you agree? Pot was about $19 (with the rake drawn off)

Thats definitley a tough board...but it looks like you're pretty safe from the turn calls...I'd check/call the river

[vector]

MP1 has only $12 left? I check, if he goes all-in and SB folds call.

If SB comes alive and goes all-in you can fold.

If SB calls, well, thats tricky, and I'd like to know more about the game and players to decide whether to call or fold there.

Betting doesn't seem worthwhile, I can't see anyone calling without the straight. With deeper stacks you could bet about 40% and fold to a raise, but here if you make a bet of this size I think you are committing to a raise (which sux with that board).

One other alternative, bet $10 and get calls from the pair of 7s (or 2 pair 7s and whatever) they both have.

[xorbie]

I'm with vector. Check/call MP I guess. Check/fold if SB pushes over.

[kongo_totte]

I followed everyones advice and checked, MP1 pushed for $11, SB folded, I called. He had K 7o and MHIG.

Thanks all.

Great plan on the river - however, I'm with you that you should have bet more on the turn. That's my biggest leak right now - not betting enough.
