very loose table(5+ to the flop), usually not raised pre-flop, but some players became aggr after the flop.
MP1 is the biggest calling machine I've seen(bought in for 18 dollars...had 7 when I left).

I'm not sure if the flop cap is good here, but considering the game and the loose opponents felt right, was considering on slowing on the turn if a bllank came.
The turn gave me the best hand and since he was reraising me so much I tought he had a set which made me happy.
On the river that 7 scared me, because if indeed he a set of sevens he had me beat, so I called.

Should I have raised?

Just call the flop 3bet, no one is folding to a cap. If an 8, 7 or 9 comes off I slow down on the turn.

Cap river... omg. Only one hand beats you, and he often shows up with 87/88 here and we can win a lot of bets.

wtf raise the river

I'm raising and capping that river EVERY time... 100%. Never worry about quads. If he has them, good for him, he wins a big pot and you just have to move on. You can't be scared of quads though. I like capping the flop and calling down the turn unimproved if he leads. Obvious cap when your miracle card comes though.

Seriously though, raise that river.

I think we're ahead often enough to cap for value.

But what if villain held 77?

Who doesn't cap the flop here?

not capping that river is a crime against poker.

alright, alright...stop hitting me with the stick. I got it now!

Thanks.

But what if there is a monster under my bed??? Don't live in fear.

If there is no limit on the river raises heads up, I'd be willing to put in 4 or 5 bets with this hand before I really start to wonder and just call. If there is a cap, then cap it PLEASE.

FWIW, I think villan's turn line is more 88 than 77. And let's not rule out 22 here.

Have you looked under your bed, lately?

Aren't you missing a pair of shoes?

I guess that you didn't get the J Tilly reference from PAD:

yeah, good pt.
worse hands calling sucks

OP,

BB puts you on overplayesx overapair often enough that you must give him a much wider range than quads.
Also, just look at card combos
He played 78, and 22 and 88 correctly as well up to this point.

Isn't this the definition of value? Worse hands calling? I know it means getting sucked out on more often, but we also win more when we do.

I saw the Tilly hand. I also remember the one time I got a walk with 72 in the BB and flopped 772.

Let's look at villans range of reasonable hands - by that I mean hands that most of us would play the same way:

77 - 1 combo
87s - 1 combo
87o - 5 other combos, but I think offsuit is less likely so I will only count 2
22 - 2 combos
88 - 3 combos

So 9 potential hands, only 1 of which beats us. And that does not count hands like 99, TT, or JJ that may have flat called from a blind PF and gone nuts on the undercard flop. The turn action makes me think these are unlikely, but I've seen stranger things, and this is a pocket change game. If we count even 3 or 4 of those 24 combos, we're ahead like 93% of the time here.

A lot of you guys suck REALLY hard at sarcasm.

villain had 87o

If you want the math, quickly...

On this river, there's exactly 1 combo that beats us, and we beat 22, 88, 87. That's 3, 3, and 6 combos respectively. So.... We win this pot 12/13 times. Since we only need to be ahead 50%+ for a bet to be profitable, we need to raise and cap this, basically, as he'd play all of these hands the same, imho.

I wasn't being sarcastic if you're including me in that. If you took it as sarcasm I must be way off.

No, you weren't being sarcastic, but Actuary clearly was.

these little guys are AMAZING.
