I see what you're trying to do here, but this just isn't the right hand to do it with IMO. When we flat with T7s, the problem is that you're trying to make a hand on the flop with your suited double gapper. There isn't much room at 1/2 to LAG it up postflop multiway because people don't like to fold at this level. So that's why I'm not a huge fan of playing this hand preflop because I like to have more than one way to win a hand, generally. Other than set mining, I always try to see if there's more ways I can take advantage of a pot.
We always want to exploitively play against our opponents. If her range is super tight from up front, that's why I could see flatting here with low pp's and SC's, but gappers don't really make sense given that they don't flop well enough. We're winning by making this fold preflop against a really tight opening range.
If there were more dynamics, and the preflop raiser had opened a bit wider, then I can see maybe 3betting this hand light, and exploit them, giving us another way to win the hand besides just hitting the board. But there really aren't those dynamics here, so I'm folding pre and waiting for a better spot. Flatting just seems so weak. Forget about our hand being disguised or anything as someone else said, people aren't hand reading at this level so none of that **** really matters.
But is it an absolute DISASTER to flat pre, no. There are much worst spots I guess. I'm just trying to explain why I wouldn't have done it. I'm clearly not in the majority so you don't have to listen to me.
Am also interested to see results in the future. Keep posting hands OP.
