I dunno after a check from villain like that on the turn, and a big push on the river, smells like he was trying to c/r trap on the turn in the 1st place with something decent. Without a good read it's probably academic.

2/3 PSB on the turn and fold to a double barrel.

You should have easily won this hand on the flop or turn. However, you have to get away from it on the river. Would be nice to know what kind of range you put him on raising 3X's the BB. You have position and check the turn? I believe this to be the biggest mistake of the hand. I hate the call on the river but the check to me is worse yet.

i did something similar when running aces hit the board to spoil my full house (folded the river though). anyway the difference was FIRST, i was OOP, so i actually planned on c/r'ing the ace SECOND, my opponent couldn't have been on a FD quite like yours might be.
trip fives call a bet on the turn and a FD is too. not only does the five or seven spoil your action but a non-spade likely ruins much chance of him calling.

I'd give him odds to call on the turn
so if he has some kind of draw I hope he calls a 1/3 pot bet

river is possibly a fold

Hero pots the turn to make his river decision easy.

PSB is usually "right odds to call" for people at these limits. I say give them an opportunity to make the wrong play (and if they are a thinking opponent, then at least it merges your ranges more neatly)

This is a tough call, but I don't see him doing this with over pairs. This looks pretty fold worthy plus you're not in it for all that much in the first place.

Yes this is foldable. On the bright side, if he had a 5 and you bet the turn, you would have had a harder decision on the river.

That's a big negative there tyrn Hero bets pot on the turn and he has $15 behind in a $45 pot. Snapcall any bet there.

lol yah, ez call, I didn't pay attention to stack sizes. I guess what I should say is not a harder decision, but a more costly hand.

def bet turn. Im not sure river is such an easy fold given that hes UTG

river is an easy call

not as easy as betting the turn, but easy call fo sho

He likes his hand enough to call your flop raise, your only thoughts here should be getting it in the middle. Pot sized bet on the turn and then you're pot commited, so the river is an easy call.

My thoughts from the minute I flopped a set there would have been how do I get all my money in by the river. Checking the turn isn't one of those ways.

Without any reads it makes it difficult. Some players at $25 NL definitely stack off with an over pair here. The tighter his utg range is, the more inclined I would be to call. There aren't many hands a standard tag has with a 7 or 5 in from utg.

In his range are over pairs and the busted flush draw. I think it is a call on the river. Bet the turn, it is one of the biggest leaks players at the lower stakes have, not betting the turn.

raise flop more
bet turn
call river

i felt it soo tuff that he had A-7 and guess what this UTG raiser ha A-7 lol its all good thanks alot for the info guys!

whats said below very nice way to say it exactly!

lol yah, ez call, I didn't pay attention to stack sizes. I guess what I should say is not a harder decision, but a more costly hand.

A7 is NOT a big part of the UTG open-raise range, nor is any 7x or 5x hand. It's a snap call on the river as played, imo, and I would have bet the turn about $9.

I've had a guy open T8s UTG and call a 3b. He was a "TAG" as well. You can't rely on people to play reasonably. Hey, I probably call anyway, I'm just saying. For example, if he overbet shoves the river you can't say "hah! 7x is not in his range, I call!"

Agreed, but we do put people on ranges, so I wouldn't beat myself up too much if he shows down a weird hand in this spot for what amounts to a small river bet.

opening T8s UTG is much better than A7o, I'm a TAGG and 56s is in my UTG range.

Such a crazy LAG you are. 56s can't even flop a set!

Anyway this seems like the easiest call ever, I'd rather raise than fold.

but A7s vs. T8s is debatable and IMO close
