Bet $13 so V pays the rake. If he'll call $10, he'll call $13. If you're afraid he won't, bet $12, but jesus, don't bet $10 in a 1/2 game! Preflop, the house has raked $1.00. After your V calls $10, there is $35 in the pot & they've rake $3 + $1 for the BBJ. Don't bet $10 to win $7 when he folds OTT. That is so freakin' gross!

My next move?
One thing I agree with that Ed wrote in one of his books: A big bet OTT almost always means strength. However, in this case, he wants you to know how much you have to call, which a lot, relatively speaking, so I don't know.
I just raise my arms so he can see the stack, whether I'm bluffin' or have the goods.
He could have peeled one with 99, thinking you were betting A7; or got in pre with 22. Then there's the unlikely 77.
