I'd like to start out saying that this was orignially a misclick, I wasn't paying enough attention and clicked what I thought was check and really it was callParty Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is BB with [7 :club: ], [K :diamond: ]. CO posts a blind of $0.5. 2 folds, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls.Flop: (14.50 SB) [K :heart: ], [5 :diamond: ], [8 :spade: ] (7 players)Hero bets, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button folds.Turn: (9.75 BB) [7 :diamond: ] (5 players)Hero checks, UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks, MP3 checks, CO bets, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls, MP3 calls.River: (21.75 BB) [8 :heart: ] (4 players)Hero bets, UTG+2 folds, MP3 calls, CO calls.Final Pot: 24.75 BBthe CO ended up having 6 9 with a five to nine straight. Basically Was there any other way I should've played this hand, given that I accidently called preflop(which I know was a mistake)

A. Why you don't play K7 :-pB. I'm a wuss, but I hesistate to bet after someone else 3-bet the prior street following a check-raise. If you think you're good, cap him on the turn, or check-call the river.C. MP3 cold-calls the checkraise on the turn then gets dragged for the 3-bet. Makes me even less inclined to bet the river. Both are oozing strength (unless you have prior data saying CO is a maniac and MP3 a fish) Other than the stop-n-go from turn to river, there's not much you can do but click with better timing and accuracy, or river a full.

I don't play K7o normally, if you read what I said that you would've noticed that I accidentally misclicked. I thought that I was pressing check and then noticed I had pressed call a little too late. The guy who called two cold was a calling station if he had something. The three bet did worry me, but I had wrongly ruled out a straight, thought he could be pushing a draw. I had a weak read on the co, basically he was playing many hands also, I just didn't figure for a straight at all. The cold caller actually had a K with a weaker kicker than me

I hope you knew the first part was in jest, I knew you misclicked, and referenced that later in my post (the click with better timing and accuracy crack, the :-p following my 1st point).If you ruled out a straight at that time, you should actually lose MORE bets than you did by capping, leading, then calling the raise on the end.

[KDawgCometh]

well the reason that I called on the end and didn't put in more bets was that I thought that it might be possible that he might've been hanging around with an 8. I had been raising and reraising a lot and a lot fo these people didn't believe me when I would bet more often than not. they would only fold after I had shown aggression unless they had absolutly nothing, and even then sometimes all people would have would have would be like queen high

What I meant was on the turn, following his 3-bet, cap it. Just calling the second bet when the 8 pairs up, especially with a wild player in there is fine since he could have you beat in many ways by then.Sorry about confusion. What I meant to say was cap turn, bet river, when raised, call, if you didn't give him the straight or any other really respectable holding.Man, I've been terrible at explaining myself this thread. Sorry KDawg, I hope this is clear now.

[MrConceit]

I'm actually kind of curious. Why did you bother to try to go for a checkraise on the turn? On the flop people just passively called your bet. Why did you think they'd suddenly wake up to bet? Granted someone did (who oddly called bets on a gutshot on the flop), but why would you assume they would? All you potentially do (imo) is let somebody who picked up a flush draw or straight draw possibly get a free card.It's not like anybody raised you on the flop. Your single bet on the flop made the preflop raiser fold.

[Alcatraz]

I agree, checking the turn with a flush and a straight draw out there is a recipe for disaster. In this case, the disaster had already arrived, although you didn't know that. Your check/raise cost you an additional bet on the turn and in other situations could have cost you the whole pot.

[KDawgCometh]

That's a good point on me checkraising the turn. I think that what I was thinking was that I was betting out into ragged flops a lot and tried to set it up as one of my bluff and spring the checkraise. Really though I do think I should've just bet out like y'all said. This is why I posted this hand as after it was over I felt that I had made some mistakes after the initial misclick. Thanks for the input

Too many draws out there to spring a trap on the turn. I would agree MrConceit and Alcatraz on this. 2pair doesn't have enough strength with that many people left in the hand and all those draws out there.
