200nl, 77 in CO
Starting to play live, just going from memory.
6 players, about 200bb's deep or more except the stack on my right (80bbs, donk), sitting in the CO. Player in the BTN is strong, usually has it when he bets.
Straddle in play, donk calls 5$, I have 77 and raise to 20$, BTN calls, SB calls, BB folds, UTG calls, and donk to my right folds.
Flop 852 rainbow, pot ~80$ (rake). checked to me, I lead for 35$, BTN calls, everyone else folds.
Turn J, still no flush. I check, bet is 45$, I call.
River is another 2, pairing the board. I think about it, then check, he checks back. He scoops with 85o, after thinking he had lost (he put me on a bigger pair and thought he was counterfeited).
What do you think of my play/sizing? On river, assuming the effective stack was about 200bb (I started with 450, he started with 300 if I remember correctly), what do you think of a bluff vs his range?
I mistakenly put him on a 67-type drawing hand, since I didn't think he'd call with 85o with so many people to act after him pre, even if he was on the button.

raise slightly larger pre, like 25 (straddled, deep game so plays like NL 500, 1 limper -> can 5x it. 4x too small).
normally fold turn, even more so with your read about this guy. 45 into 160, hm, i still lean towards fold turn.
you basically are never improving on river, and most of the time facing another river bet, so your odds are against you, probably more than it seems.
i did not read the result up to now.
bluffing river seems spewy to me, as well as not correlant with your earlier logic, putting him on a draw. why bluff off a draw?
also, bear in mind hand was 5-handed. average hand strength going up.
Agreed about sizing pre and the turn call. This was 13 hours into the session, so I'll blame it on that, but still, not a great call.
Maybe I was wrong, but considering his range, turning my hand into a bluff at this point does not seem like a terrible idea to me. I mostly represent overpairs, or at least 99-TT here, maybe some AK-AQ, but I would not call the turn with those against him. My bet preflop makes any 8, 5 or 2 unlikely (except for sets, which he would have heard of by now).
From his point of view, giving me a range of 55+,AJs+,76s,AJo+, he can really only call if he puts me purely on a bluff, which only happens if I have 67 or AQ+. I don't think he'd be willing to risk his stack facing those odds, no?
I'm just curious since he immediately thought I won after he checked it back.
would xf turn with this special hands and texture even if the size is small.
but given what he calls PF, you don't make a big mistake given his range.
"I mistakenly put him on a 67-type drawing hand," Very unlikely when you have 77. X/fold turn for sure. PPl should call with TP + in these multiway spots.
Completely agree. Although not an excuse, I was 13+ hours into my session, and left shortly after, if it helps put things into context.
Turn is never showing a protit imo as others said, not to mention i`d be surprized if your sizing generates any folds at all.
