mroper1979 bets [$6.94].
surfacesys is all-In [$6.94]
** Dealing Turn ** [ Ks ]
** Dealing River ** [ 4h ]
mroper1979 shows [ 7h, 7c ] two pairs, kings and sevens.
surfacesys shows [ 3h, Tc ] two pairs, kings and tens.
surfacesys wins $21.98 from the main pot with two pairs, kings and tens.

I certainly didnt put him on a 2 or a ten because of the 4 dollar call pre-flop. I know I probably should have folded when the K hit, but.. any advice on my play of this hand in general?

Don't raise that crap preflop. Read the pre flop strategies.

With pocket 7s, you'll almost always you'll get one overcard on the flop, most of the time two. There's a page I can't find that's been posted here with the exact percentages of an overcard falling when you're holding pockets, but from my calculations it's around %94 when you have 77. These hands should be played for the set.

If you put your op all in, the only hands that are calling here have got you beat. He's paid 40% of his stack to get in preflop, he's gonna push the rest if he hits any single bit of that flop.

Yes, he had cards that made this hand a bad beat, but in the long run, you're going to lose tons of money playing like this.

There's nothing wrong with raising small and middle pairs occasionally for purposes of deception, but I don't see why you're raising to 8 times the big blind.

After the flop, I probably would've put the other guy all-in on the flop as well since it's not unlikely you have the best hand, and you might get him to fold, 8-8, 9-9, J-J or Q-Q. You just happened to put this play on a fool who was willing to call with a wide range of hands regardless of what you were representing.

This isn't a bad beat, though.
