    You're the one making a mistake as you're assuming knowledge of something you have no idea about. And you've done it lots of times in this hand and have admitted so. Everyone else is saying they don't really know what villain has but taking all Ax out seems ridiculous. And I don't even think it's all that important tbh. Even if he has very little Ax you're still assuming you can get him to fold other hands which you don't know you can.

    I think if you have reads that villain has no Ax here (you don't) and you have reads villain is taking shots at this board with medium strength hands/air (you don't) and reads that villain will actually fold to a raise (you don't) then it's ok. Although if those things are true then why don't we assume that villain will quite happily bet/fold a lot of the time on the river? Especially when we do pick up a lot of equity. And as we don't have any of those reads I think calling turn is obviously bad so it's not something I'm actually suggesting.

    And J7s open on a lot of tables isn't thin it's really bad. Especially when it won't just be this hand, you'll be opening far too wide in spots because if J7s looks good enough so do lots of hands. Stop doing it.

    If he's opening J7s here what % of hands do you think that actually is? And do you really think that figure is anywhere near to ok to be opening in MP?

    And how much edge postflop do you think is required to make it +EV to play?

    And the justification of "not played in 20 hands => open really wide" isn't good.
