I dont see the need to barrel off 77 in hand 1 and probably x behind ott, if stacks were shorter such that villain had less Ax in his range, or we had t45 pre or cbet bigger and could shove the river for around pot then I think it's better although I'm still not convinced its optimal, and im not doing it on 5x

2nd hand I think call call fold and xr the flop are both fine, im not sure which one is best, hopefully there's some more discussion on that in the thread

1. I think barreling the river here is just giving money away. You would be pretty much just trying to get villain off a queen, and readless I wouldn't even count on that. I would also either check back the turn or bet it smaller.

2. As played, I'd call river since the bet is so small. You only need to be right just over 20% of the time for the river call to be correct, and I've seen players do some weird **** at these stakes. He could be overplaying a worse ten or a seven, or have a busted draw. Check-raising the flop is probably the best way to go though.

why would you guys fold river, 2 FD's didn't hit on the river + he could be thin value betting QT or JT esp. with that bet sizing

cause he's probably not doing this enough, even needing only 20% or w/e
