Ya gotta start thinking about what your opponent thinks you might have. You raise pf, the flop comes A72r and you bet. He's gotta think you have an ace here and isn't calling down w/much less. The likelyhood he has a 7 is a slim but still a possiblity and the likelyhood of him having a 2 is almost nonexistant b/c he'd fold most hands w/a 2 pf and might toss a majority of them on the flop.

Once he calls the flop you gotta think he's got an A or at worst a 7 or pp higher than yours. In either case, he's prolly committed himself to showdown and you aren't knocking him off a better hand.

Bet the flop, check fold the turn
