Did I back off too quick? Should I have backed off sooner? Comments appreciated.

I think you played the hand perfectly.

I think you played that perfectly too

your flop cap tells him you're not just on a single high club and he still comes out betting which suggests he flopped a flush and you need to draw out on him at this point.

He had 77, I just wanted to make sure I did not wimp out.

I think this is pretty much the default course of action.

[Ulysses]

Perfectly played by both players.

[Bob T.]

You cap a monotone flop, and get bet into, you certainly have to consider that your opponent has a flush. I think you did fine. Because of the river action, I think you ran into a set of sevens, or eights, so you might have missed out on a couple of bets here.

Do you think the BB should have 3-bet the river? I thought it was pretty obvious what tj00 had by that point.
