Pot

[finky]

Push, he has three 7's and probably won't lay it down

[Telepath]

Bet pot.

[outphase]

pot it, he's got either the straight or a lone 7, if he does have a boat, it's only right that you pay off that junky hand he limped in with

[Fnord]

Push, he has three 7's and probably won't lay it down

Not a whole lot of 7x hands other than maybe A7s he's playing if he's tight.

IF he's tight, I think you can fold here. Under-full in an un-raised pre-flop pot.

You are folding the river against a tight player getting 4:1 here?

[Nugunz]

Fold? Really? I don't think this is really a matter of folding, but calling or re-raising.

[Fnord]

You are folding the river against a tight player getting 4:1 here?

That turn raise from a tight/passive makes it perfectly clear he's threatening playing for stackes here and we have maybe 1 out. You can't call here. Either you think you have him beat and try to get in lots (all) of the money in the center or put your tail between your legs and fold.

You've seen my history of advice. I don't laydown in a lot of spots, but I would consider it in this spot.

Well.. nothing was ever said about the player being passive. If he was a super-rock set camper, maybe we can change the discussion around.

As played and with the information available, I think the river is a must call. I don't like a river reraise because villain has already showed a lot of strength in the hand and there are many hands that can beat you, but how do you turn down 4:1 on the river with a boat?

On a side note, the NL25 donk factor makes it even a clearer call IMO.

Either you think you have him beat and try to get in lots (all) of the money in the center or put your tail between your legs and fold.

I don't necessarily agree. I think you have to put him on a range of hands here and realize that you may be best. However, if you are, you aren't getting any more money out of the hand, and if you aren't, you are losing your stack.

[DaNutsInYoEye]

Pot. I think 7x or a 6 pays you off more in the long run than the money you might lose to a higher boat.

I disagree that a lot of hands beat me. 9 times out of 10, at these stakes, he is going to have trips or a straight. What hands beat me? Quad 7s, or a higher boat. I saw this as a great opportunity to bring in a lot of money, rather than calling.

[Lukie]

Depending on the opponent, I like a raise or a call. To be perfectly honest I don't know if I can ever fold here given this situation...

[finky]

I'd pay off a higher boat / quads every time at this level, most the time you way ahead. It takes a good hand to raise the river like that which means he might want to play for stacks, you most likely have a better hand, I still say push.

Stop playing against the table or your stakes and start playing against the other players.

You provided a bit of a read and his betting pattern looks like a tight/passive monster. Throw in an unraised pot-pre-flop pot and this is a pretty textbook spot where you don't want to go for broke with "just" bottom set.

There are a lot of player I get all my money into the center with. Heck, probably 80ish precent of them. This doesn't sound like that guy. Consider, it's the tight ones that are harder to get things like post-flop reads on because they're playing fewer hands and often have something when they continue by virtue of playing so tight.

No offense Fnord, but I think this is horrible advice. Like Lukie said, you're getting 4:1 with a huge hand. It's clearly a raise or call situation, and I'm raising here almost every time, and looking to play for stacks. Do you not think 68 puts in a river raise here?

I remember a 50NL hand I played once. The board read ATT-9-6. It was checked down the whole way. I had 66 and caught a boat on the river. There was a 3-way all in, and they turned over JT and 78.

On a side note, you have to get more money in on that flop. Either lead out and pot it, or CR pot it.

[IowaSkinsFan]

I'm suprised not many have commented on the flop. It's a really weak flop I'd bet it or at least raise the guy. hope he hit something strong that is pushable or else he's folding the turn to your raise no matter what hits on the turn.
