How Can I Bet This Hand - ABSOLUTELY CRAZY

[Sarge85]

I really don't know what to say about this hand. It was probably the largest pot I collected at a .50/$1.00 table.

How can I possiblely think I am going to be good here?

I'll let the hand speak for itself.

wow simply amazing. 3 betting preflop with J7, caping with AQ offsuit. raising with top pair and 7 kicker. then betting again into the raiser. then an idiot calls down with QUEEN 9 NOTHING LOL. another idiot calling down with AQ nothing, lol. very comicial hand. this a typically party table huh

Pot was so damn big...and I had the overpair.... to be honest, I felt a like a cross between a fish and a river rat.

That's right... why didn't you???

I think I'd raise the river here, though, given that you just busted anyone else's 2-pair (that didn't hold a 3).... nice pot!

Well, without digging up an old argument, I was going to use the techniques reccommended in THFAP, about waiting until the turn to raise in loose games. Clearly not an issue here.

Given the action, do you really adovcate raising the river? I strongly suspected that I was up against JJ or AA. The pot was so big, and I was showing top pair, that's why I stayed in, but I really felt like I was beat.

At first it seems that you missed a lot of bets here. But, I guess with everyone else giving action you didnt need to. Still, I would cap the flop and go to war on the turn. If the turn is capped, I would proly slow down on the river.
