If I were the villain

10NL SnG. 10 handed
Blinds 20/40

Hero UTG with A7o

Hero raises 3x BB. ( I know, should have stayed out perhaps )

UTG+1 raises 5x BB.

Everyone folds to hero.

Hero calls. POT 230.

FLOP: Ac 8s 10d rainbow.

Hero checks.

Villain checks.

TURN: 5h

Hero bets 140 ( 2/3 of pot )

Villain calls. POT 510.

RIVER: 5s

Hero bets 250.

Villain calls. Shows KK.

Hero wins.

Apart from the fact that I should have stayed away from the pot with such a hand from such a position, anything you can do to improve the play?

Thanks :thrasher:

PS. If I were the villain, I would probably bet out after hero checks on turn. What'd you say?

Hero didn't check on turn. What advice do you want?

Poker needs players like this.

Why is a bet on the flop incorrect? Unless you suspect that the villain's slow playing. In which case I'd still bet out to see where I am stood.

You didn't bet the flop. What are you talking about? Villain has position, who is slow playing?

sorry, i meant the turn

To be honest this is a terrible hand. You should have folded preflop, villain should have folded to an Ace but the it's a low call and you haven't included details on stack sizes. You should have played your kicker very carefully, villain calling your bets would usually indicate Ace and high kicker (K,Q,J)

Easiest fold preflop EVER! Seriously!
