I want to know if I played the hand correctly. I capped the flop because even with the straight possibility I didn't want to give cards to the flush draw for cheap. The Jack on the turn doesn't bother me much so I cap for value. At the river I've already decided I'm going to pay off the set of 8's on the earlier streets (is this correct thinking? not fearing the overset?) so if the guy has quads he has quads and nothing has really changed.What do you guys think about this?Preflop: Hero is CO with 7:spade:, 7:club:. Hero posts a blind of $0.05. 3 folds, MP2 calls, Hero (poster) checks, Button calls, SB completes, BB checks.Flop: (5 SB) 5:heart:, 8:heart:, 7:diamond: (5 players)SB checks, BB checks, MP2 checks, Hero bets, BB folds, Hero calls.Turn: (7.50 BB) J:spade: (2 players)Hero bets, Hero calls.River: (15.50 BB) 8:spade: (2 players)Hero bets, Hero calls.Final Pot: 23.50 BB

That's a tough one. What kind of read did you have on your opponent?I think you played it fine.

Bet/call the turn. (he might actually have a dumb straight)Resume jamming on the river. Pay JJ, J8, and 88 off while punishing everything else.

That's a tough one. What kind of read did you have on your opponent? I thought the flop raise was a free card play at best and I figured I still had outs against the made straight. The fact that he kept rolling when the overcard came up confused me and made me think either set or straight.When the board paired on the river I thought that with the straight taken care of by my full house that I would get payed off by that or maybe even an underfull.

Paid by a straight or a donk, yes. But there are more overfulls than underfulls compared to yours.

i would at the very least slow down on the river. he raised every single bet you threw out there...obviously he has SOMETHING

[dapokerbum]

It depends on the guy but I think he might of been overplaying his AA as there were no real scare cards till the endNever mind I though he raised pre-flop...probable str8

i've seen weird things but I don't think I've seen someone just call preflop on the button with AA

Yeah I goofed on that check my edit.. :oops:

It's 88 a lot of the time, but not enough fo the time not to pay it off.Shit happens. Losing value against donk-limped KK/AA here sucks.

I think you're against something like 88, JJ, 78 or the elusive and crappy 85 quite often, but w/o a read, I'm capping this one in my sleep at these limits. Too often you're against TT, QQ, AA, KK, A8, or the straight. It actually looks a lot like 55, to be honest...Not 3-betting the river against an overpair, trips, straight, or underfull is a disaster. All other things being equal, you're respect yourself in the morning a lot more if you play this one like a man and cap that shit.HollaaaIce

While I dont think he had AA, I've seen people limp with AA from the button many times. I know its stupid. The only reason I can guess they try it is to conceal the fact they have Aces.
