How to win the most money in this hand?

I thought he was repotting all in with a 7 in his hand on flop.

But what calls flop and half pot lead in to me on turn?

Call or raise?

SB could have a well-disguised TT. You sure about him not having a 7 here? Because I see a lot of players go into check-call mode with unboated trips.

If SB is a bad player, then he may have had a wrap draw and turned a flush draw, but completely ignored the paired board and flop raise.

In any case, I like raising the turn around 99% of the time.

-If he's bluffing, then you (probably) wouldn't win more money off him regardless of whether you raise turn or not. I find three-barreling to be quite rare in PLO.
-If he has a 7, then you're charging him to draw and probably doubling through him if he has [72] or possibly [A7]
-If he's drawing to a straight or flush... kudos to finding this opponent! A smallish raise to ~$70 may be more enticing than just shoveling here...

EDIT: I forgot to add. We should be willing to felt here if he 3-bets. His PFR and aggression factor is high enough for me to believe that he would be willing to commit his stack with [27] or [A7]... and possibly [K7] here. If he has [TT], then cooler, reload and move on.

-If he's that bad of a player and has ANY draws that he's still chasing, do we want to raise him off of them with position, or do we want to try and let him hit whatever he's chasing and lead in to us again on the river?

In any case, I like raising the turn around 99% of the time.
-disagree

-disagree This guy did it with the naked ace and two callers

-If he has a 7, then you're charging him to draw and probably doubling through him if he has [72] or possibly [A7]
-We pray that he has another 7, and that the river is lower than a ten, and that he leads in to us again

I expect him to have naked aces here VERY often given the 3bet preflop. Raising will tell him those are no good. Flat calling might look like WE are the ones on the draw.

uh, yeah. I think that part is fairly obvious.


So in summary, I flat call. Shove any river card <10 - probably flat call any river card >10

He raised preflop and bet into you twice. True, this could be naked aces. If you have that feeling, I would flat call and let him lead the river. If he checks the river, we could bet what we would have raised on the turn with.
