    i think its a laydown as sick as you might get, it seems as if the opponents like the board pairing sevens a little too much, wait for a better spot to advertise....but very tough..

    Waiting in the shadows ...
    Does a raise to 30 really get people to fold around?

    I wasnt trying to win it preflop, though that would have been fine.

    it's touch because it seems like Kteller4 could have a lower straight, or the same straight. But he's displaying too much strength. It would be nice to have reads on this one. I fold.
    Check out the new blog!!!

    your call on the turn was hoping for a J or 6 right? 6 being even better?

    Sure it was but a bet and a reraise into a paired board with this action smelled of a full house.

    Give it up on the turn, fold the river

    I would call this...i'm guessing you got beat otherwise it probably would not have been posted, but I think the betting could just as well represent trip 7's or an overpair....keep in mind i usually play $20-$50 buy ins...I have no experience in the Sunday million...so if my assesment is flawed here please let me know. I just see a lot of hands you are ahead of.

    alright maybe an over pair is out as it would have been reraised pf most likely...i could see someone calling with A7 or A9 maybe even K9, i figure 99 would most likely raise pf too, pocket fours are certainly possible, can't discount 76s either. I still say you're best at least 50% of the time. plus you have them both covered by 1300 at least... I still call i would go all the way with this hand if reraised too.
    what actually happened?
