I think you should raise this preflop, even out of position-you have a small edge over their random hands

3-bet this flop with 2nd set...not a good time to do a stop and go with the flush draw out there

The check-raise is fine on the turn...

Yeah, I'm leading the river, and just calling a raise. He could have a flush draw

You played it fine, but I'd have a pretty hard time not jamming it on the river. No one's folding the flush draw on the flop. You got the check-raise in on the turn, and you have to lead out on the river. He raises you, which is the perfect scenario. The only hands you have to be worried about are 66 or Qx, neither of which are likely considering his play on the earlier streets. Flush is obviously no longer a worry...

Actually, any Queen has us beat. There are two queens on the board and two 6's smile.gif

yeah, i saw that the second i posted and corrected the initial post. i still think it's unlikely villian would play the flop and turn the way he did with a queen in his hand.

3 bet that flop with a flush draw on board. lead the turn and hope he made a flush. once the queen hits on the river i think you lead and call the raise.

I don't see why you raise preflop from the SB with 7's. There are already 2 ppl in, one of them from UTG. I'm not up against random hands.

I am leery with raising from SB with PP less than 9's with 3 callers, especially one from UTG.

Keep betting that flop if they want to.

Turn check-raise is good.

River - I'm torn on (based on how the other streets played out). Pretty sure I would bet out here, and if raised, just call. I definately don't like a check-raise here. Check-call seems too weak. Bet/call me thinks :wink:

well, you started out with the stop n go set line, but you forgot to lead teh turn and then three bet it. That river card blows, just check/call it.

I doubt villian is raising because of the board pairing.
