Nice blind steal attempt. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I like the flop bet. When the board pairs on the flop, it makes everyone missing the flop much more likely (as there are only five cards that connect with it instead of nine, along with a gutshot straight and four-flush). Since you are ahead of the vast majority of hands that bricked this flop, bet out until someone or something gives your a reason to do otherwise.

Betting this river is awful, though. He's not going away, and you beat nothing other than 33 and 32 -- you tie to anyone with a high card of 4 and get smoked by every other possible hand.

Thats why I bet the river. Theres a good chance he was on a hopeless flush draw.

I play it the same from start to finish.

How many times is he going to be on a flush draw, though? You have one of the hearts in your hand. If he's weak tight he probably would've folded overcards earlier.

Altough villain is a weak tightie, he would probably have bet/raised with a J. I don't think a weak tightie calls with 7 either. My only worry is that hes weakly playing AA or KK.

I think the bet on the river is terrible. Your kicker cannot possibly be good and he is clearly not going to fold.

I don't really like the river bet. I like the reasoning, but I think it's misapplied on the competition at .5/1.

What hand is he calling with?
