Flop a full house, yet i think i'm behind...

Villian (100) UTG raises to 5 Hero (~125) calls on the button with 77.

Flop A 7 A rainbow

Villian checks, Hero checks.

Turn K Villian checks, Hero bets 8, Villian raises to 20, Hero thinks for a little and calls.

River Q Villian pushes for 69 Call or fold?

Villian just joined the the table, so no reads. Against a complete unknown, how often do you give him credit for AK, KK or AQ?

Don't check the flop, AK/AQ will pay you off.

Wow tough one I think. Im probably going broke here though. I will say that perhaps you shouldnt have checked the flop here. Still wouldve been hard to get away from though. In all honesty though, I think I probably cant get away from this hand.

River is a fold. Flop is a bet and push situation.

This is definitely a hand (at least for me) that is worth seeing when not playing. Checking the flop was an easy error for me to catch. In the heat of the moment, I may not have been able to fold that river. But sitting here reading the posts and thinking about it, it makes perfect sense.

i know the feeling. going over how bad i play most hands after a session is one of the most humbling and encouraging things i do. honestly, i think i agree with how i played maybe 30% of hands when i look back at them.
