This is a 2-5 hand but seems like most activity is on 1-2 so re-posting it here.
Kind of a tricky hand I had this past weekend… a friend and I can’t seem to agree on the right play so looking for feedback.
2-5 game… pretty solid group of players… lots of 3-betting but haven’t seen anyone get too loose or crazy.
First spot opens up to $15 and a few callers. I’m on the button and find 10-7 spades. For some reason one of my favorite hands to play. I make the call and so does the small blind. I have about 1500 behind.
Flop comes 7-7-5. Two clubs. Small blind leads out $50. hmmm. Small blind has about $6k behind. He’s been getting paid off by terrible players. A mid position player raises to $150. This guy has played some good hands and some bad hands. Possibilities are small over pair, A-7, A-5, and flush draw. I think I could very well be good here, so I re-raise to $350. After a long thought, the small blind calls, and so does the mid position player. Huh ??
The turn brings a blank. Small blind checks, slowly followed by MP guy. Honestly, at this point I don’t know if I’m good or not. There’s about $1100 in the pot and I decide to pot control and check as well. My thinking was I don’t want to open this pot back up and let the huge stack shove or the same for the MP player who has about the same chips as me.
River also blanks. Small blind checks. MP guy bets $250. I think this is a weird bet. You have to have something strong to bet into 2 players… one who re-raised to $350 and one who made the smooth call and has a monster stack. I almost think about folding. He’s got to have A-7. I can’t raise, but even if I do call, the big stack might shove. In which case its only another $250 at this point and clearly I will fold. I make the call. Big stack goes into the tank. He exposes a 7 and suddenly I feel very ill. But he’s also in the dilemma that someone bet and I called, so he can’t like his kicker. He folds. Wow. MP player shows a busted flush draw and I scoop with my trip 7. Big stack said he had 8-7.
Curious if I gave up a lot of value there or was right to be cautious and check the turn. I feel like I played it right, but would like to get some feedback.Hey I remember having read that hand.
Didn’t answer on the other thread because I wasn’t sure either, hehe.But after reflection, i think i like the way you played it.
On the flop, you have a lot of 7x in your range being on the btn, and you cold 3bet, you rep strenght. SB, cold calls you, he must be strong too, as for the mp player too.I guess we could bet turn to charge flush draws, but being check/raised would suck, I’m ok with the check back
Pretty much the same with the riv (i would flat mp player’s bet)

I guess there’s more than one way to play the hand, but I think I would’ve played it as you did
