Default Re: I flop goot........but turn bad

1. I don't generally like this as a stealing hand because it doesn't have great top pair potential. Only steal with it if you think there's very low chance you'll get played with.

2. Flop is good.

3. The 7 really isn't that scary a card. Often this is just a picked up draw, a weirdly played A, a hand like A9, sometimes 87. Sometimes it's a monster but it's way to early to say that.

Proceed from there. Raising the turn makes the river much easier to play. Folding is obviously very hard on the river here. Put a read on and go with it. I'm inclined to call as 87 is possible, as is a bluff, as is just an A; remember it's a blind steal situation and so hand values get magnified.
