$500 eff.
V (LJ) opens $15 (standard opens seemed to range from $15-25)
H (B) calls with A♦️7♦️
I contemplated a light 3-bet but decided to reserve that for A suited wheel hands
Both blinds call
Flop ($60) A♠️A♣️6♠️
V bets $30. H calls. Blinds fold.
Turn ($120) A♠️A♣️6♠️5♣️
V bets $75. H calls.
River ($270) A♠️A♣️6♠️5♣️4♣️
V bets $150. H?
Anyone play earlier streets differently?
Preflop and flop seem very standard, wouldn't change a thing. However on the turn this hand gets quite interesting, we definitely have some options. Against certain opponents I will minclick the turn with plans of checking back most rivers we don't improve on. We get more value from draws and we limit the damage against stronger Ax. It's also very unlikely you will face a 3bet bluff when you click the turn so you can easily fold profitably facing more action.
As played on the river I would just fold facing this size and move onto next hand. We can call AQo AJo esp combos that are blocking clubs. We have enough strong hands where this A7s is actually not very high up in range. If you're looking for some bluff raises this hand actually might be a decent candidate, but only do this if you know your opponent is capable folding strong Ax otherwise no point in trying.
