On the turn, I assume I have the best hand.

On the river, if he has any A, his bet makes sense. Maybe even a Q. Maybe any pocket.

Don't have many hands on villain, but he's fairly loose with about 47/17.

Definitely bet the turn. Just call the river.

I see no reason to check the turn. As it stands you've grossly under-represented your hand.

Is villain bad? Then raise, he'll call you with a Q. If he's thinking, I find little value in raising. He'll fold all worse (any queen or pocket) and call you half the time when he has the case ace and raise you half the time when he has the case seven.

With those stats, I am leaning towards a minraise on the river. In a vacuum, I just call.

Would have been more interesting if you'd raised the turn, I think.

I'm putting Villain on a busted flush draw (maybe :As: :Js: ?). I don't think the turn is a mistake. You might chase him away, and you have a boat. You want Villain to make a flush. I think all of the money has to go in, as Villain has either an underfull or the 7. If Villain had the 7, wouldn't he raise the flop? Wouldn't he at least bet the turn when the ace came, thinking the ace might improve your hand?

I think you are ahead more often than you are behind, so I'm raising the river and am willing to get it all in the middle with a loose Villain.

I think I am going to lose a bunch of money here if he has a 7. I don't think the check is a mistake. It looks like you got what you wanted, he bet the river. Granted the only card in the deck comes up that could possibly put him on a better hand, but I would have to raise. I think I make it $40.00 more for him to call.

The pot size is far too small. Bet 20 on the turn, bet/raise/do whatever to get it in on the river. If he has a 7 gg.

Villain had 74o...., and I lost more than I should have on the river. But I doubt he would have let go on the turn, so....

That river card really made me sick. Just seeing it was tilty! I plead temporary insanity.

He later paid me off when I flopped of set of Ts. Really didn't want to leave that table, but evenutally had to sleep :)
