Default When sevens are an under-pair

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Pokertracker says SB is LP-P, BB is TP-A, UTG+2 is TA-N, and MP1 is LP-P. The table had been pretty loose for $5/$10.

Preflop: SamIAm is Button with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SamIAm calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (5 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks, SamIAm checks.

Turn: (2.50 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">SamIAm ...</font>

This hand seems a lot more straight-forward in retrospect; the bet on the turn seems pretty easy. I don't really believe anybody would check-raise the turn after it's checked-through the flop. I suppose they could be trying to induce a bluff.

But, what's your line if I meet opposition? If I get a caller, do I bet the river if a blank falls? If I get raised, do I immediately fold?

I like it when my wired pairs are just "Did I flop a set? Fit or fold." When my hand might actually win unimproved, it gets a bit harder. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Nice bet -- i'm taking a free showdown if I get any callers (unless I spike a 7 on the river).

If you get raised... I think i'm gone except possibly to BB, but in this pot, i'm probably folding to him, too.

A case could be made for raising pf if you think you could push UTG+2 off on the flop and isolate the calling station (and fold the blinds).

I'd probably just bet the flop.

The turn is a definite bet. There's really very little chance you don't hold the best hand.

I raise this preflop every time.

Had you raised PF this hand would be much easier to play. That being said, you should bet out the flop and turn. Use your position.
