For the life of me I cant figure out what he has. I think theres a good chance you have the winning hand, but unless you think he'll fold the (which I dont) or call with the or lower, which I doubt he has...then it only makes ssnes to check behind.

I like it very very much. If he's tricky certainly check behind.


Alternate line:
If your read is lock-on i think you can push the turn. It looks like a bluff and makes you get the money in, no way he folds a set.

I actually think he might have a lower flush.... Here's why... Absence any reads.

The limp/call might be 7s, but wouldn't he limp/re-raise with Qs or As? But with the flush draw out there he checks the flop. I may be a little weak about this, but I don't like to try and trap with a FD on the board. Perhaps he was going for the CR?

The turn does kinda blow a hole in my read, but the small bet when the flush hits might mean a small flush. Why check when you have a hand and bet when it can be beaten?

I think he has a small flush or set of 7s. Bet half the pot for value, because he will fold to anything bigger.

How did I do? I actually am curious, if my read is good, what the right bet on the river is?
