IMO flop check is fine. Call turn.

bet flop - no ace is folding (obviously no 7 is folding either). b/c turn. then x/c river.

You are very under-repped. Call turn.

I am? You don't think he knows I'm very likely to have a big Ace here given the preflop 3bet? I felt like his minraise screamed, "I know what you have and I can beat it but I'd like to make it as easy as possible for you to get more money into this pot thinking it's good."

I couldn't figure out a hand for him that made sense at the time, so I released mine.

Or maybe he thought you have JJ-KK and he could squeeze some value. Or maybe he raised to "see where he's at". Or maybe because he enjoys clicking buttons.

If you do decide to check on the flop, it's a no-brainer bet-call on the turn. Your flop play corresponds for a lot of their raises here. Obviously, your decision won't be that easy on the river then, which is just the reason you'd want to bet the flop most of the time in the first place, unless, your reason for checking is just to induce this raise and get more value, based on your opponent's bluffing tendencies.

Most likely yes.

Don't really understand the flop x followed by b/f ott. Your hand is under-repped as suggested above. He could be bluff raising or raising worse for value ott here.

Bet flop for value imo, but as played bet/call turn.

I would do the opposite if this were the case.

In hindsight, my line here was a hot, steaming pile. I saw ghosts in his raise, I guess.
