    Default Should I c-bet this?

    Villain has used his stack to push people around once. He seems loose, and has gotten very lucky on a few hands to get the big stack. I have been playing very tight mut its only a 5.50 so that might not mean anything.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero (t2243)
    MP (t1745)
    Button (t5492)
    SB (t2290)
    BB (t1730)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with 7, 7.
    Hero raises to t400, 1 fold, Button calls t400, 2 folds.

    Flop: (t1025) T, A, K (2 players)
    Hero ???

    If I bet here it would be a push and that decision would be read dependent. You are probably a 2 to 1 dog to win the hand at this point so if you think villian would fold 2 out of three times this is a close call.

    There is a decent chance that villain doesn't have a diamond as three of the ones he may have called with are on the board. There are only 4 diamonds left higher than the one you have so there is also a decent chance that you would win the hand if a four flush hits the board.

    On the negative side you are up against the big stack who isn't in danger of busing out if he calls your push.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    i dont c/b that flop. if opp is loose then its not a scary doard for him either since he will play most face cards.

    BTW im not big on PFR with 77 UTG. this is a part of my game im aware isnt very consistent
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    I think preflop is fine, I am raising this every time, even from UTG.

    On the flop, I agree with Goat, I am check/folding. Against a loose opp Ax and crap like KJ has got to be in his range and loose opps won't fold to a c-bet, even on that board. Besides, we can fold this and still have 1843 chips - whilst this isn't a super healthy stack it is plenty to give us FE for pushing.

    as played check fold seems only option, you're a 2/1 dog or a much worse dog.

    I like open shoving pre or limping if the table is passive, but I am not the ICM wiz. You're getting maybe 1/6 'good' flops, so this basically comes out to a UTG blind steal. if you don't want to limp or shove I think you fold.
