Pot the flop. THen you can fold to the minraise.

I'm not sure I'd bet this flop 4 handed out of position. I think i'd check it and fold to a bet.

You could, generally I wouldn't, it depends on the situation. It's mostly a feel thing.

If you did raise it preflop you could feel more comfortable about tossing out a bet on the flop.

It's common for people to limp-in with small/mid pp's for set value, but then they make a mistake by getting crazy with them when they miss theer set on what they see as a 'favorable' flop. Someone could have limped with anything so you have to be careful, especially OOP. Generally if I limp a mid PP OOP in a multiway and I don't hit my set then I dump it. When you have position, or have raised it preflop you may have some more options. It's all based on feel though.

I can't see taking a hard line in this hand, if you run into some action you are looking at a significant part of your stack going in. This is a c/f for me. Too Sensitive

If you must bet here, make it at least 3/4- 1xpot. Like I said this pattern is just too transparent, villains firast show of aggression is when trip kings are a possibility

Re: I suck at poker - 77 in the BB
 

yeah i would bet 2 or more on the flop, because when you go from betting to calling it is hard to know where you are at in the hand, especially against a player in LP that limped in. The only good move there, imo, would be to reraise to $10 or more, or fold it. A raise there would be read-dependent, if you know the player to be an aggressive raiser.

Re: I suck at poker - 77 in the BB
 

Pot flop and fold to the raise, as mentioned. As played, fold to the flop raise anyway.

Re: I suck at poker - 77 in the BB
 

I like to lead at paired flops, both with and without trips, usually for about the size of the pot. However I am not so keen to bluff when the pair are paint because many players limp any two paint cards.
I fold to the raise here. Villan might have a 5 but more likely has a K. It isn't worth $2 to try for one of the last two 7s on the turn.

Re: I suck at poker - 77 in the BB
 

Pot flop, fold to a raise, unless read dictates otherwise.

For the raise preflop, It is definitley a play I will try to pull. There is $2 in the pot, and I might pop this up to $3.

If you were to lose everytime you were called, you would need to win this &gt; 60% of the time for it to be +EV. They should fold it &gt; 60%, but you of couce have +EV postflop if you get called, and can make a standard c-bet to take down the pot. It depends on the table, though, and in a lot of loose $50 games, this is not a good play.

Re: I suck at poker - 77 in the BB
 

In a 4-way limped pot where you checked in the BB, just check/fold the flop. You haven't taken an aggressive stance in the hand, so you're not making a CB, you're only hoping that there isn't a K out there and that everyone will fold, which I think is unlikely.

As played, bet a little more on the flop and fold to the raise.
