77 Turn decision
40/80 last night at bay 101
a very lucky but decent player limps in the hijack. i raise on the button with 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. the blinds fold and he calls. my image at this point has been tight/aggressive though i've had a flurry (3 or 4) of raising hands the past orbit. flop: J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] He checks. I bet. He calls. Turn: T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] He bets. Is my hand or my draw any good here?

Re: 77 Turn decision
This is a tough one, and I would have to rely a lot on my read of the player. Would he checkraise you on the flop with a pair? How about with a flush draw?
Your draws are troubling because in each case, you're not sure if you want to get there since he could have a higher heart, an 8 might give you a smaller straight, and hitting your set might give him a straight. I think his most likely holding is a pair, and the 3rd heart scared him into betting to protect you from getting a free 4th heart. But if that's the case, you have just enough pot odds to call. At the same time, the pot is small enough, if you're not behind or drawing dead already, the river could bring a lot of cards that would give him a better hand, so I don't think a fold is a disaster. With all that said, if you want to get to showdown, I think the best way is to raise here and a)hope he mucks or b)hope you get to check behind on the river and pray you're good. Do you play at Bay101 often or are you in town visiting? Regards, Pokerhooker

Re: 77 Turn decision
you raise here.
1) your hand may be good right now and he can have a better draw than you (a Qh say or the A/Kh) or an 8. 2) you fold to a 3 bet very readily given the above. 3) you check behind the river. 4) he may fold a T or 9 to the raise and you have outs vs. those hands anyways. so raise. -Barron
