Re: 5/10 NL- Decisions Decisions
This is why I like leading the flop (if not at the very least check-raising the flop). It's much easier to play. Draws and one pair hands are more apt to just call. You'll invariably be raised by two pair or a bigger set on the flop. Then you can put more money in on the flop when you're more sure of your hand. As you played it, he could have easily bet on any pair or any draw. He would also bet any two pair hands as well.
Now on the turn, you're put to a guessing game. You hope he has only a 7 and probably an A7, or 57, 87 or 97 (24 combos). Either that, or you are crushed by 67 (2 combos) or 77 (one combo) or an improbable QQ (3 combos). The other hands that have you crushed now more improbable than the QQ, which is Q7 (6 combos) and Q6 (3 combos). I'd call this, but expect to lose some of the time. However, let this painful decision be a lesson to bet your sets.
