Hero 500$ 1/3 live.

Hero has Kh7c in bb. 4 limpers, hero checks.

Flop (16$) 7d7hTd. Button thinks he's first to act and goes to bet out of turn. Hero is first to act, hero?

Spoiler:
hero would normally bet considering limped pot but with button looking to put money in I wasnt sure when to bet, x/c or x/r. Hero checks and button bets 10$, hero calls instead of raising. I figure a raise looks really strong with me knowing button wants to put money in already.


Turn:
Spoiler:
(36$) 8c. Hero checks, villain bets 15$, hero raises to 45$. We can get worse 7x to call and possibly other draws. I doubt villain wanted to bet flop so quickly with a gutshot. Villain calls


River:
Spoiler:
(126$) 6s. Horrible card for us. If he has a 9 he has a straight now but the flush didnt make it in. Hero bets 40$, if we get raised we can get away and we can still go for thin value against a worst 7x that may check back. Villain thinks for a minute and calls with 9To so he turned the open ender with top pair and hit river.


Not sure if this is played correctly but I dont want to be results oriented though.

Next time don't post results.

I'm fine with preflop.

Flop is a little weird due to the out-of-turn betting. Normally, with a kicker this strong I'd just bet out (with a weaker kicker I don't think checking is horrible). Knowing that Button thinks they are first and betting I'm not exactly sure whether I'd check to call or check to raise. I think I mostly check to just call due to "don't go broke in a limped pot" although that does give good odds for others to continue and we do have second best kicker.

I'd mostly donk the turn myself. There's a lotta draws and we don't want to give a free card. If we get raised, we'll have to evaluate. Don't really like a check/raise plan here (too often gives a free card plus may be overplaying our hand sometimes).

Pretty bad river card as almost every playable 7x (apart from perhaps 75) are now ahead of us. Kinda doubt very mediocre hands (i.e Tx) pay off this board unless they think we check/raised the turn with a busted flush draw. So mostly he's either crushing us or on a busted flush draw. With that in mind, I think I'd rather check and evaluate whether I think he's on a busted flush draw enough to call; if we voluntarily donk money into the pot I'm not convinced we get looked up by worse very often here.

I don't mind a x/r on the flop; wet and semi connected board

Despite the out of turn action, I’d still X/R the flop. The board is drawy and hand is multi-way.

Turn – not a good card as 87 moved ahead. C/C.

River – T9/76 just moved ahead. Check and likely folding.
