Horrible Call by Villain?

limping utg with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] is too weak as seen, you will most likely get raised making the hand not very profitable to be played from EP.

The fact that you're saying this when I've given you no information about the game makes me think you might not understand PF play that well.

I limp UTG with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Villian raises.

Everyone folds, I call.

Flop: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I check planning to check/raise because I think there's a decent chance he has overcards and will dump his hand.

Here's the thing. When I see this board, I know it's pretty much a top pair/overpair/set type of board (drawless). If your read is overcards, you could set up a CR on the turn, by smooth-calling the flop.

If he's a thinking opponent, he's going to give you credit for something on the flop. The turn will dictate your next action.

Anything less than paint, I'd check going for a CR then. Turn CR's carry much more weight than flop CR's

Now he may even check it through, giving you credit for your flop call.- then you can bit the river with a large number of cards that will fall.

I agree with you that a turn checkraise is better and carries more weight and has a lot more FE against a TAG. However, if I was in villain's spot, and chose to check through the turn with A-high, it was because I was planning on calling a river bet against this opponent, so I don't think betting the river if he checks the turn has much merit.
