Re: Pair of 7\'s early with no threat
If you want to try and take the pot there and then you are going to have to bet harder than T15.
There is a flush and possibly made straight and a very possible straight draw. Personally I woukd probably just check the flop and fold the turn. You are unlikely to take the pot there and then unless you bet very big in which case you are leaving yourself open to a reraise which you would have to fold to, an expensive outcome. If you make a pot size bet you will likely get at least one caller and the number of cards which make it impossible for you to bet on the turn make it unprofitable. This is a win a little or lose a lot hand. Just check and fold. Tim |
