97s from mp seems pretty loose, i'm folding.

After turn you seriously have to consider that you're beat because a guy with these stats is not likely to be raising you with something that doesn't beat your hand. You also have to consider that even if he calls pre with suited connectors, 76 has you beat (and on the river 75 does as well).

In any case, betting river has no real use here considering what villain will do with all the hands he can have. x/deciding is the move. As played fold to the raise.

Do you guys think villain's range is limited to A7/76/66/QQ?

Could it also include a slow played AA/KK, AQ/KQ/QJ (especially clubs)?

Folding pre in this Position makes life a lot easier for you

Maybe, though I think it's less likely. I'm not saying he should fold turn, but betting river makes little sense to me and calling the raise even less.

I could get behind a bet/fold on the river (against randomly floating Qx or maybe AA,KK) but think it's definitely a fold to the raise. x/c also seems ok against a reasonable sizing. +1 to fold pre tho.

I don't know, it would be awfully difficult to fold trips on that board the way the hand played. Villain isn't going to put hero on a 7 here so I think KK/AA/AQ/KQ/QJ are more likely than you guys are giving credit for.

People really need to stop posting results, even in the spoiler. They totally sway our perception of the hand.
