So played a tournament last night and the night was going mediocre till this one hand I’m sitting in the small blind blinds are 400-800 the action gets limped around with 2 calls one utg +2 and the cut off action gets to me and I look down at pocket queens so I raise it up too 5200 the big blind folds the utg+2 calls and the cutoff folds so we go too a flop heads up the flop comes 7h7d4s which looks like a great flop for queens I bet 4200 and the utg+2 calls river is a 6h so there is now a flush draw out there and straight possible but being raised what I did I believe thise straight possibility’s should not be in his range flush draw possible yes so I bet 10500 player thinks for a second then makes the call river is another 7 so I now have 7s full of Qs only being beaten by As Ks and a seven so I shove for 18,000 player snap calls not good player called my pre flop raise with A 7 off smh could I have played that different what y’all think
Side note went to cash game turned a 700$ profit in a 1-3 holdem game
Personally I take a more conservative line here. Although a 7 wasn’t toooo likely given the preflop action, suited A7 makes sense the whole way. If you had the 7, you would check the flop to induce, and he might check back with it too or bet a draw. I know it sucks to give a free street here, but it would give you good info. Either way him calling the flop tells you there is trouble. I don’t see him calling with worse on the river. He sure as hell isn’t folding anything that beats you, because your preflop action was faceup that you dont have a 7. IMHO, better to check call the river. He probably value bets it instead of jamming, letting you off much cheaper.
Thank you for the insight I will remember that good luck at the tables too you
