Yah this is pretty awful, you are gonna get bet off of your hand a good % of the time.

If you were getting odds to implied odds to draw to a set, calling here is one thing but you aren't. I'd prefer a limp then push over the top of this raise than a limp call.

I think so. Under 2:1 pot odds to basically call for a set. Without a read, the only non-pair I see him raising a bunch of limpers OOP with is AK. Most likely you're a 4:1 dog though. If he did this with a small pair, tip your hat to him and take his money later.

1) I like when you say there were no reads. This is more realistic for multitablers. Unless I notice a particular donk or regular, it's usually my situation that I have no reads in situations such as this.

2) I instafold this facing the raise, assuming there's not a read that tells me not to. See #1.

yeah, i hated this call as soon as i made it. i thought in the moment that it would be profitable to get it in on any non-A flop (except stuff like KQT) and fold otherwise, but in retrospect i agree that i'm drawing to 2 7's too often.

the flop came AKQ, villain pushed, i folded, and he showed AQ.

77 is not typically a calling hand unless you are getting odds to hit your set. I would fold this again almost all raises.

It should be emphasized just how terrible this call is. Not to bug the OP, but to make sure he never does this again.
