Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6397301, member: 305911"] I am not sure how villains plays which is always important but bet sizing in this hand is interesting to me to say the least. The flop contains two clubs and villain fires just over quarter pot bet. That to me signifies the potential flush does not scare them, and that they dont have an overly strong holding (since they are not betting for value/protection). Now if they bet this way every flop then thats different but without knowing that (not sure if you did in game or not) then this would get me thinking that my 77 is ahead. Qx should be betting more here to at least make drawing against clubs incorrect and if villain had a hand like 88-JJ I believe they would be more even with the overcard on the board. The only exception to all this would be potentially QQ or if they AA with the ace of clubs. When the turn card comes out a Q, that obviously is a great card since it blocks the overpair on the board and makes it harder for villain to have Qx. Villain now bets out pretty large into the pot. What hands do this that bet 1/4th on flop? It would not be QQ as I was worried about before and is AA now going to go huge into you if there are two Qs on the board, probably not. So now I am thinking I am ahead again and given flop bet sizing took out bigger pairs I am calling here thinking this is a bluff of some sort most of the time. River brings a nice under card to our 77s and I think if we believe we are good on the turn (which I think we are) then we have to call river as this bet falls in line with the turn bluff. I dont usually like bluff catching two streets as we are doing here but this is a spot where we should. Its a tough call but villain turns over a hand that I believe falls in line with their bet sizing for the entire hand. [/QUOTE]
