He had TT and won. I thought his river bet was strange, since I looked more likely to bluff then call a bet.
After the hand I wasn't too happy with my line, though I'm glad not everyone thinks it was horrible. When he three-bet the flop I thought he had 77+, a flush draw, or occasionally nothing. I knew I had an equity edge on the flop and was paranoid about getting checkraised on the turn, so I didn't give enough weight to my chances of folding the underpairs. I think there was a chance I could've got him to fold 77-TT with a turn raise, so Paluka's line is probably best.

By the way, I think your line is actually fine if you are planning on folding the river. I don't think the guy is bluffing. In high limit games, nobody gives up on the turn in a big pot like that. So usually the turn check is for cheap showdown purposes or because you are on a pure draw. So bluffing the river is pointless, you either have a hand you are calling with or a missed draw. Any bet here by an experienced player is a value bet, unless somehow he was on the same flush draw.
