A little background is needed. Playing a very fishy 400NL game on party. Villain in the hand is on a few tables with me and thinks I'm full of [censored] after bluffing him out of one or two pots and showing him (at another table). Villain has me covered and I have just under 400.
I'm on the button with 7/4s and 5 limpers infront. SB completes, BB checks. 8 to the flop.
Flop: 8/6/5 rainbow
Checked to the villain who bets 30. I make it 90. Folded back to Villain who calls.
Turn: 8/6/5/2 rainbow
Villain leads out 140 and I....
What do you do here? I put the villain on a set, 9/7 or 7/4. Those are the only hands I can legitimately see him having here.
I found Villain's bet put me in a tough spot. Calling seemed to be the worst option and folding seemed really weak at the time so I pushed. River paired the board and Villain showed 9/7 for the nut straight. How many people play it differently? (keeping in mind villain will call me with any set here).
