pl o/8 hand

[Wily 0]

Curious if I played this too passively or about right-.05/.1 PL O8 on FTP (sorry about hand history)I have everyone at the table covered -Dealt A J 8 5 in the SB.4 callers, I complete, BB checks.Flop: 7 7 4 .I check, it's checked all around.Turn: 7 7 4 5 I bet out $.35, half the pot, looking for some value but also fearing a big reraise. UTG, MP1, and Button call.River: 7 7 4 5 Q .I half pot it again, $1.05. UTG calls, Mp1 min-raises to $2.1, Button calls, I call, UTG calls..Final pot: $10.Just wondering if I played this too weak, or correct for a paired board and a river raise?

I think I would reraise on the river, maybe by 1/2 pot or so, or even reraise the whole pot. It seems highly unlikely that you're up against a boat, given the lack of strong betting, so I think it's worthwile to get value from what are probably two (or three) A2's that are splitting the low side.(Of course, this is really bad if MP1 has a weak boat, but I don't think it's likely given his weak betting).

You are only getting half the pot so re-raising on the river is a bad idea. If you had a low to go with your flush maybe but it's pretty obvious someone has A2xx or A3xx.If by chance that river raise was someone slowplaying the FH and raised just enough to get everyone to call but not enough to get a fold then you are losing the pot completely.The turn bet is fine and river bet and call are fine as well. Hard to do anything when the board is paired in O8/b and there are 3 other people in the hand.

If anything, I think your play was too aggressive. With six way action and out of position, I'm not terribly fond of attacking a paired board with the second best flush (63d beats you) and virtually no shot at the low.Might check/call it down if the price was right, but I'd be more inclined to check/fold on that board than bet at it. Even if you are ahead for high at the turn, any pair can suck out on you on the river, along with anyone holding a seven.

Actually - forget what I said, I agree with the others that just calling the river was fine. Basically no way you're winning the whole pot with a raise, so even though your hand is likely best, a raise is a big risk that costs you a fortune if you're not the best high hand, and doesn't gain you that much (if anything) when you are.
