1/2

(UTG+1) Hero $900: 6

Perceived as TAG/solid
(Button) Villain $620:
Likes to make plays frequently, Solid player (only makes plays at competent/thinking players), Sort of a LAG player

Preflop: V1 raises to 10 UTG, Hero calls 10, 3 other v's call (including our villain OTB), blinds call (7-way to the flop, Pot = 70)

Flop, Pot = 70
2

Blinds x, Original PFR x, Hero bets 35 (bigger bet sizing?), everyone folds except Villain OTB (HU to the turn)

Turn, Pot = 140
5

Hero x, Villain bets 80, Hero x-raises to 200 (bigger bet sizing here again?), Villain calls

River, Pot = 540
7

Hero is all-in for 665, Villain folds.

Don't like betting the flop 7 ways. Most runouts suck. Everything else seems fine. Maybe value bet river smaller?

Flop bet folds out the blinds' trash that may very well have 2 overs to our 66.

If it's 4 different ranks, that's 12 outs you don't have to dodge ott.

I like betting $200 otr & callin' an all-in, because we are only beat by a cooler and I don't see him calling much more. Even a $100 bet may be best. You're willin' to go all-in [if he comes over the top] and he may have a slim holding and be willing to call $100 much more than often than $200.

You don't think he'd put you on 86 & fold the same hand as you when you go all-in do you? Or, maybe it was A5 and your all-in convinced him you have a 6?

Check-raise river. If he's as crafty and capable of making moves against competent players like you say, then he's going to bet here. It'll convince him you have an A and are trying to see a free showdown. That, in turn, will induce a bluff with his ****-all club draw that whiffed.

There's a decent chance he has A

-x

. Checking the river will make him try to push you off what he would likely believe is a split pot. Then when you raise, he might level himself into calling, because now he might think you're doing to him what he's trying to do to you.

I think you are targeting As on the river for value. I don't see him turning busted clubs into bluff so not checking. $200-$250 sounds about right.

I like the flop bet, maybe go to $45. There's plenty of worse hands that can call.

I have no idea why you c/r the turn. In my opinion that turns your hand face up and you are only getting called by flush draws or sets when you c/r, both hands have a lot of equity against you. If you just continue betting I think you get calls from a lot more hands, including aces.

On the river I don't think you are ever getting paid given the turn c/r. If you had continued betting on the turn I'd triple barrel the river and expect to get called by pretty much all aces.

shoving the river is ok, because V only has about 400 left, into a pot of 540,

but you also could have valued him to death with another 200 bet on the river.

hard to tell what his range was, but with that small raise, that many opponents pre, and having the button, he is almost any suited connectors or one-gappers, so with him flatting the flop, and then calling the CR on the turn, flush draws make up a majority of his range

So, checking, or betting very small to induce, was probably the best line
