Hero must have folded AFTER the pre-flop call, but BEFORE the flop by clicking the "Away" box and turning off his monitor. It's a tricky play, but I just don't see it as +EV.

Yeah, the Step 5s are crazy like that. I'm obviously not ready for them.

Re: 1000+65
 

lol! what do u think of the pre flop play?

Too crazy?

77 on the button is a raising hand. Fine to me. Although if you're going to go into check/fold mode if an overcard comes you shouldn't raise. But if you plan on following it up then its fine.

Maybe in a ring game. Maybe.

In the vein of thought you are suggesting, where you "arent in check/fold mode if overs come", and are determined to raise, i would suggest a slightly larger raise....its the only way you can define the hand of MP if he calls..... you will want some input on what the likelyhood is of him pairing a low-face (T,J).

My line, if i am going to raise this hand p/f, i up it to maybe go 5 or 6BB, so that i know any callers will have to have AK/AQ or overpair to my 77 to be calling.

Now i CAN check/fold on A or K high flops, and i CAN play real strong on J or 10 high flops.

You dig? Of course, i play in games that are 1/20th to 1/50th of the buy in of this one, so maybe the thinking is different?

My problem with my move that it makes me pot committed. If mp2 puts me all in on the flop and i do not have a set, and there are overcards i would have to bite my tongue and fold.

I would ofc be happy and push if it is checked to me.
