The more I think about this hand, the more I'm actually convinced I had the upper hand this hand (instead of her) and my line is the correct one by a long shot, especially the river bet. I would have played 77 the same way...and there is no way I can put her on a 5, so it's about the same hand really...and if I did have the said 77, you guys would have all agreed 'i owned her' not the other way around. I got her to put in two bets on the river on a relative bluff (she may has well have had AQ...I don't think her pair of 5's changed anything in her mind when she raised.) She happened to be bluffing with the best hand, but most of the time I'm going to have her beat and gain 2 bets instead of 0 or 1 if I check call or check fold (and lose the hand by folding).

I know a lot of you think it's crazy...please re-evaluate.

(and I still admit raising is wrong pre-flop...I made a mistake there...but post-flop the hand was played expertly imo.)
