On the turn, MP1 probably has an overpair or overcards and a gutshot (maybe with a flush draw as well). So, if you bet and get raised, it's going to be hard to interpret that raise. I don't like to check-call with a vulnerable made hand and two opponents, but I'm thinking that may be best here.

If you were ahead on the turn, there's a good chance the river card spoiled that. I doubt MP1 will call with a worse hand or fold a better one. I would probably check-call, like you did, and hope MP1 has something like AQ or AJ.

I would 3-bet that flop and go from there.

Would have bet the turn to see where you stand, but check is ok(safe). Definitely would have bet the river. If you get raised than you know his pair will most likely beat yours.

With the cold caller on the flop don't you think you're probably behind? Also what's the point of three betting pf, especially since you're out of position?

With that flop it was good to lead and possibly call raise. No seven on turn fold. He is screaming over pair already. Yes he might not have it but it will cost you a lot to find out. Just the raise on the flop would be a good place to dump. You may have him beat here AK,AJ,etc but will it hold up to river?

Everyone here seems to see monsters in the closet. I'm not so sure it's the correct view from my bed.
