UB loose/passive
UTG folds, I call with 77, mp1 calls, mp2 calls, CO calls, button calls, sb calls, bb checks.
Flop: 8c 6d 4h.
Checked to me, I bet, mp1 folds, mp2 raises, CO & blinds call. I call.
Turn: (8c, 6d, 4h) As
SB checks, BB bets, I fold.
Anybody have any thoughts on how I played this one? I'm not so sure myself. For the flop bet the pros seem to be that I could very well have the best hand with 77, and I have 4 (possibly 6) outs if I don't. The biggest con is that I'm out of position and could wait to see if any passive players behind me bet, which would indicate top pair.
On the turn I folded because I didn't want a raise behind me to destroy my gutshot odds if I called the bet. In retrospect I think this was a bad fold because the flop raiser probably just had a pair of eights.
The result was the flop raiser folded after me. The river brought another 8 and it was checked around. The BB won with AQs in a showdown against CO's T9 and SB's AJs.
