This is the question I was answering. Barely any better hands are folding so if you bet and they fold, 77 was good.

Good point. Now that I look back on it, the only situation you'd get an opponent to fold is if this particular opponent is tight or not. A 30+ VPIP opponent probably wouldn't throw a pair on the board whereas a weak-tight or tight-aggressive player might.

Thanks for helping me clear this up. I should have been using these boards to debate my retardedness long ago. I think I tend to be laggish even if it doesn't merit such play. I wonder if I'm just going through a normal learning curve...

So basically what you're saying is taking the free card on the turn and mucking the river UI if bet into is the best line. I can see that with this opponent.
