I've been C-betting almost 90% and shutting down, I expected a bet here

How about bet/folding the turn, c/c the river? Was your plan to just c/c c/c all the way down?

Nah, it was to C/R all in because I'd been at the table with this guy a while and he liked to make some plays, but I hadn't seen him do this

[billymonk]

Was this why you checked? You wanted him to bet? Just are sick from the size of it? Cause if you checked with the intention of calling or check-raising, you got what you wanted now call. If you checked for another reason, then I think you have to let go of this.
I think you should have just by-passed this problem by betting the turn. I probably bet ~$15. I feel confident that I can lay it down to a raise.

All things considered though, I fold.

I've been waiting to pull this move as well. C/r'ing after a "failed continuation bet". I just don't know that your hand is strong enough for that; it's only TPGK. I'd rather see it done with an overpair and a dryer board (2 flush draws out there). I'd rather lead here for $15, and then maybe c/c to potentially induce a bluff on the river depending on the river card. As played, you just have to go with your gut whether to call this or not. I would lean toward calling it, but I wasn't there.

I've been pulling this alot with guys that like calling flop bets to take down on the turn, or autobet a turn with TP any kicker with pretty good success. Well, sort of, they've calling with worse hands as a 2:1 and catching up. In this spot I thought it would be alot closer because of the flush draws, but I'd seem him semibluff before when he should have taken a free card. My gut turned when he pushed however

Villain had A/7 but all in all its been a successful play so far at least

[BigBiceps]

That is how I would have expected the hand to play out on Party.

You made the correct play if playing on most any other server.

Hmm, tough spot. I think I'd let this one go this time, but make a note of it. It really only makes sense for him to have a set, a straight, air, or some raggedy two pair. I don't really see an ace playing like this. Hope you've been running better btw.
