yes, yes, i have your weak trips crushed, now how much to bet...

[creedofhubris]

good 20-20 game. I limp A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in CO after a couple limpers.

Flop:

7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Pot: $110

UTG ($900, this is a guy who buys in very short and then gets allin a lot, he's doubled up from his initial buyin and is kind of random) bets $60

I ($4000) raise to $180

Button ($4000) calls. Now, button is very tight passive. This is trips almost every time.

UTG calls.

Turn is T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

UTG checks, action's on me. Pot it? 1/2 pot? Go for the fatty check/raise?

Obviously I am eyeing button's enormous stack.

If he's got the trips I think he's got, he's (probably) going to bet if I check, but this guy's idea of a bet is generally no bigger than $200.

Pot it.

Boring, I guess.

Anyway. I bet $500, which is 3/4 pot, my usual bet size. Tight guy took a long, long time and folded. SB check/raises allin with AA (??) and does not improve.

Tight guy says the river 8 gives his 87 a boat.

I'm not sure how much I can soak tighty for if I check/raise. Obviously I can't check/3-bet (he would be crazy to call that), but if I check, he bets and shorty moves in and I call, he can't fold trips there. Of course, once he hits his kicker on the river I won't be loving it.

Deep stacks + unraised pot + tight/passive player = hard to get a lot in there, was hoping for some more tips from you guys.

Sorry, didn't see this first time around. Looks fine.

[flawless_victory]

i think you played this hand perfect and turn checkraise is a bad idea.

[SunOfBeach]

i think you played just great... though i dont know how you put button on the other 7, as opposed to say 44. but anyway, i think your bet was perfect, buttons fold wasnt easy even with the deep stacks, and SBs checkraise was just silly.

Button is tight, so he has one of three hands to call my flop bet: an overpair, a weaker seven, or a flopped boat. Of those, he's raising most of his overpairs preflop. He's got 3 ways to have 44, and lots of ways to have the last 7. So his most likely holding is the last 7.

If he raises my turn bet, I give 44 a lot more weight.

[TheWorstPlayer]

Bet. In my experience, they are usually slowplaying the flop so that they can raise the turn and surprise you. Hope it isn't with T7.
