Im playin my standard sLAGyness. Villain has seen me steal toooons, and I've also showed some rediculous hands down. He's pretty tight, though, and definitely not been out of line, but he's also seen me shutdown preflop on blindsteals and could easily be just pushing back.

I think I need help on all streets. The turn check being especially bad, this ain't a trappin spot is it.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero ($79.40)
SB ($49.50)
BB ($50)
UTG ($61.10)
MP ($55.50)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7, A.
2 folds, Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, BB raises to $7.5, Hero calls $5.50.

Flop: ($15.25) 7, 7, 9 (2 players)
BB bets $11.5, Hero calls $11.50.

Turn: ($38.25) 3 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

River: ($38.25) A (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $15, BB folds.

Final Pot: $53.25
<Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

Fold preflop, bet like $25 on turn and then just bet river strong and hope he has something he wants to show down.

preflop is always bad, but is especially bad given your bankroll situation.

I would probably just push the flop most of the time, but I will push over this c-bet here more then most, so you really have to figure out a way to balance your lines. Not stacking JJ+ here is criminal.

As played, I'd probably just bet the turn, hoping the other guy was going for the stack-a-donk.
