Too aggro with 77?

[WillMagic]

3-betting preflop is lame. You don't have much of a pot equity edge. And, really, in a 4-way pot with 77, it's to your advantage to let the guy on your right have the lead, so that you can fold the bad flops and force the field to call two bets cold on good flops.

This is actually a pretty good flop for you, all things considered. Your bet is clear-cut - as is your turn bet. You might very well have the best hand on the turn, and even if you don't you have outs.

And the river raise looks good too. You're folding to a 3-bet, right?

Even though folding to the 3 bet is profitable, I don't think he needs to plan to fold to the 3 bet to make the river raise worthwhile.

I don't disagree with you.

istewart - I guess I could have used a better word than "lame." Of course three-betting isn't awful. By lame...I just meant there's clearly a better option, even if raising doesn't cost you all that much. Lame = meh, not OMFG YOU SUCK AT POKER YSSCKY.

I'm not sure I'd call 3-betting preflop "lame" since I think it's relatively close in a SH game, but I agree a call is better for the reasons you outlined.
