Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Hero raises, 1 fold, MP1 calls, 4 folds, SB calls, 1 fold,

Flop: (7 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, MP1 raises, SB folds, Hero 3-bets, MP1 caps, Hero calls.

MP1 plays a lot of hands, but haven't seen this kind of aggression before. The cap puts me into check/call mode.

Turn: (7.50 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets, Hero calls.

River: (9.50 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 11.50 BB

Nothing wrong here, against an unkown or someone who hasn't shown aggression before call it down. Could be lower pocket pairs because party fish are renowned for slow playing flopped trips.

Looks to me like you're up against a set or better from MP1, but you cannot fold here. Bummer. I don't see anything wrong with checking and calling here. There is still a very slight chance that MP1 has a missed draw, but I doubt it very much. (Being a net+ player, but certainly not an expert, I'm posting as much for the expert feedback as anything else. Don't take my opinion too seriously.) [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

There are players that I will bet the turn against here - but either way it's a close decision. But this hand is pretty straightforward - you can't even consider folding here.

I think I would have bet the turn had he not capped the flop.

Here are the results:

Hero shows As Ah (two pair, aces and fives).
MP1 shows 7h Qh (two pair, sevens and fives).
Outcome: Hero wins 11.50 BB.
