Default Haven\'t had 50/100 sweat in a while

What do people think of this line? I'd only been watching for a little while, but it seemed like the pace was pretty quick.

Here is a recent big pot for flavour:
Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $100 BB (2 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

WildThAAng ($20848)
Button :#A500AF(Mahatma)/ ($11945)

Preflop: WildThAAng is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Button :#A500AF(Mahatma)/ raises to $300</font>, WildThAAng calls $200.

Flop: ($600) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
WildThAAng checks, <font color="#CC3333">Mahatma bets $400</font>, <font color="#CC3333">WildThAAng raises to $800</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Mahatma raises to $1600</font>, WildThAAng calls $800.

Turn: ($3800) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
WildThAAng checks, Mahatma checks.

River: ($3800) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">WildThAAng bets $3800</font>, Mahatma calls $3800.

Final Pot: $11400

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
WildThAAng has 6s 5s (one pair, sevens).
Mahatma has Th 7h (three of a kind, sevens).
Outcome: Mahatma wins $11400. </font>

Here is the hand I'm interested in:

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $100 BB (2 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

WildThAAng ($15596)
BB :#A500AF(Mahatma)/ ($17193)

Preflop: WildThAAng is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">WildThAAng raises to $200</font>, BB :#A500AF(Mahatma)/ calls $100.

Flop: ($400) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Mahatma bets $100</font>, WildThAAng calls $100.

Turn: ($600) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Mahatma checks, <font color="#CC3333">WildThAAng bets $400</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Mahatma raises to $1800</font>, WildThAAng calls $1400.

River: ($4200) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Mahatma checks, <font color="#CC3333">WildThAAng bets $1800</font>

Good, bad, ugly? Impossible to say? I am thinking different lines might be taken on flop, turn, and/or river. As played, what do you do if Mahatma check/raises the river?

Can you explain? I find the bet sizes particularly weird/interesting.

pf is whatever.

flop: he has a nice draw, but with 3 hearts already out, his outs are tainted, so just calling is fine.

turn: turn bet is standard. now the CR. mah could very very easily be on air here, as well as having a lone T and charging you for a lone heart draw. and even if he has a low flush, you are still in ok shape.

river: is a pretty clear value bet IMO, unless Mah is a big CR bluffer.

personally, i would bet a bit more on the river to avoid looking weak and inviting a CR.

Comment on second hand. I think you are almost certainly ahead on the river and he folds to your bet. Reads like he flopped a baby flush and the king put you ahead. His mini-bet on the flop looks like bait.

If he check-raises you on the river, you have no idea what to do. He could have the nut-flush, a Qh flush or a straight flush. I would have checked behind on the river.

No one 3-bets the turn?

"If he check-raises you on the river, you have no idea what to do. He could have the nut-flush, a Qh flush or a straight flush. I would have checked behind on the river. "

it seems to me you should fold if those are his range of hands. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
