Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6798016, member: 305911"] Im deducing from your post that you started the hand with 16 BBs. Opening A7 from CO is correct mostly but what are the stacks of the players behind us and what do we think about their push/fold skills? I mean by that do we think they are someone who never jams less than A10 or would they be jamming all Ax, some Kx, etc. if they are sitting in the blinds with 8 or 9 BBs. We have to be thinking about those things before we open and those are not mentioned in this post. You say you are just starting out so thats why I mention that on paper that A7o from the CO is an open but we always to think of and beware of our surroundings. As far as the hand goes. Flop is dry and we have showdown value with ace high so we dont have to bet there. With that said, we can take the pot here a decent amount of the time by betting since it is dry and at least button should not have 4x depending on their stack. SB is wide so they could have it but since wider they will/should also be folding more frequently as well. So I dont mind betting here but I would be making the bet to get folds so actually in a pot that is probably 8-8.5BBs counting the antes, I like betting 3.5 to 4 BBs to get some fold equity. Turn: we get called on flop so if I am right about your starting stack we have about a pot sized bet left give or take. From here I would check as well and hope we get a check behind as we wind up getting. Villain, I know its a freeroll but still, should know now you dont have many or any Kx other than KK yourself as you would not be checking with the board getting a little wetter and having so few chips because you would be still looking to get value from a hand that you thought was best. River: we get the ace but with villain checking behind I am not sure how many Kx they would have (didnt think they had KK either) so I would be thinking what can I get called by with worse here. Since we chop all the Ax I am not sure there are any worse hands that call here except from some call station which this villain could be but I dont know them and hopefully you had some bead on how they played. I would advise checking here or jamming here. Checking to induce a bluff or jamming to make it look like you were bluffing. Villain dependent on what you think they have a better chance of doing from either betting large if you check to them or calling what they could interpret as a bluff. As played I dont like 1/3rd sizing and we get jammed on. Dont think any Kx does this (again was discounting/eliminated KK) so I would think this was Ax, 66 or a bluff and with a pot sized bet left going to the river and already betting 1/3rd pot, I would never be folding to this and if they had me beat then they had me beat.
