On the flipside of that coin, a tighter player with A7 is much more prone to muck to the turn raise than he is to a flop raise and a turn bet. Theres something about that turn raise that represents alot more strength than jamming it up on the flop and leading the turn. People do that with things like Flush/straight draws, and sometimes even just AK. That turn raise though, is enough to scare players out that mightve called otherwise.
Lastly, and i have done this many-a-time and felt retarded about it, is call it down and raise on the river, only to find out that i get 4 bets out of an oppoonent whose hand was nutty enough that hed have given me four bets on every street practically (usually set / set, or top 2 pair / small set or something like that) - and theres no crappier feeling than missing like a million bets.
Of course theres always that pot where you get the same flop with the same cards and you check and turn a K againt some mizor with KJ that wouldve mucked to a flop bet...But i think in general, i prefer to jam the pot.

I wish that mizor didn't lead into me on the flop. I would have been much happier with betting out, someone raising, and me 3-betting. Would any of you risk the slow-play here? The biggest reason I went for the raise was the large pot and connected broadways.
