77 in SB vs. 3 bet by BB
 

Villian in this hand is a little passive 33/8/1.

Was calling down here the right play? I figured 77 was a resonably good hand so I want to see a showdown here, but it's not too strong so I want to get there as cheaply as possible right?

Against an unknown or loose/aggro player I would bet the river expecting to be called by A9-AQ more often than by a better hand (or checkraised). Since he's passive, this guy has a smaller preflop 3betting range and could easily be checking 99-QQ (24 combos) here. A guy like this might fold AJ/AQ to a river bet or not 3bet AJ preflop. Well played imo.

at least bet the river how you played it.

I think thats a little easier to say once, in retrospect, you realize that Villain will check the river.

Atleast you supported your statement, so I can understand your point of view. &lt;/sarcasm&gt; [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

here is my support:
WA/WB type of line. villian checks the river w/ a lot of unimproved hands that he bets the flop and turn with. value bet.

also I dont think 33/8/1 (how many hands?) is too passive. on the passive side, yes, but more or less an average donkey, no?

This was over only 50 hands, all from datamining so I can't give any sort of read beyond the stats.

33/8/1 is pretty damn passive

Re: 77 in SB vs. 3 bet by BB
 

I think the turn check is fine as this villain this passive will often check behind with a hand we are behind (99-QQ). I probably play it the same.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Villian showed ATo and MHIG.
