Re: Bet the river?
 

bets and calls a c/r...

sb or bb would likely have gotten their turn c/r in if they had a 7.

Re: Bet the river?
 

...bets. It's not even close, as nobody has shown any indication whatsoever that they have the 7 and any pair will call you (possibly an A high or two). If check/raised, it comes down to how many people are left to act behind you, and whether or not you think they'll call another bet. I would lean towards 3-betting, as any hand that'll call 1 more is likely to call 2.

Really? Interesting line of thinking. I did bet out, but I would call a raise or c/r in this spot I think.

Re: Bet the river?
 

Easy bet. I can't see myself ever 3-betting a c/r though.

Re: Bet the river?
 

This is a ridiculously easy river bet. Don't fear that the 1 card in the deck that beats you is specifically in one of your opponent's hands. You beat everything else, and there will be callers, so bet!

Re: Bet the river?
 

well since you forgot to delete the color, it's obvious you did bet it, and it was ridiculously easy of you to bet...

a better question is what to do if raised?

i'd seriously consider 3-betting... and probably just call. too weak/tight?

NEO (Non-Expert Opinion) I am betting the river and calling a raise, though a re-raise is probably good too as you have hand no raise post flop or turn to indicate a 7,
