HERO is in the big blind for $5 with 7h7s. Villain min raises to $10 from UTG+2. Everyone folds around and hero calls an extra $5.
Flop comes Ac3s9s.
Hero leads out for $12.50 and villain calls.
Turn is 7d.
Hero bets $25, villain raises to $125 and hero calls.
River is 5d. Hero checks, villain goes all in for $352.50.
Hero calls, but is that the right play? I'm thinking by calling the raise on turn, I would surely have to call the river on a blank. However, the villain range can only be a set of 9s, 3s, As, or 2 pair (A9, A7, A3).
I like clicking it back on the turn instead of just calling. But yeah, don't fold here ever.
Meh I'm fine w/ the just flat. We don't give him the room to do this on the river with a bluff w/ a click back on the turn.
But yeah, flop is just lighting $ it on fire. River is a snap call. Also highlights why this "I must donk into stronger range because I don't wanna check call or check fold" is bad. We try to play some low variance "win right now" strat and end up playing for stacks here.
