7-7 in mp1 and unsure of what to do here


Recommended Posts

PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (10 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is MP1 with [7s], [7h]. MP2 posts a blind of $0.25. 3 folds, CO calls, Button calls, SB completes, BB checks.Flop: (6 SB) [9d], [6d], [2c] (6 players)SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks, MP2 checks, CO checks, Button checks.Turn: (3 BB) [9c] (6 players)SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets, MP2 folds, CO calls, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds.River: (5 BB) [9h] (2 players)Hero bets, CO calls.Final Pot: 7 BBIs calling fine here pre-flop, or is this a raise? Should I be betting the flop or graciously accepting a free card in this 6-way pot? Turn bet fine? If I am raised on the turn, is it a fold? I assume the river bet is acceptable.

Bet the flop, it's way too good for your hand.
With 5 players in there with us, most of the time one of them is going to have paired the overcard. We really don't have equity here. If we get calls or raises, we're not going to know if they have a 9 or the flush draw. Basically, I don't think the reverse implied odds are helping.Throwing this into Poker Stove against 5 random hands...we're actually less favored on this flop than the other hands (~16% vs. ~17%). Once we reach the turn, we've picked up a lot of equity...we're up to 28%. By the river against one random opponent, we're 92%.

If we raised pre-flop, it's any easy bet on the flop. If there weren't three left to act behind us, it's an easy bet on the flop. In this case, I'm not so sure. I really don't mind the way this was played.

Duly noted. Again though...I think we're playing 77 for set value mostly. In a multi-way pot, we're not going to win very often unimproved. I don't like getting aggressive with low pairs until I've got a better idea of where I'm at.
