I think I just suffered from fancy play syndrome and should have shoved flop or shoved turn.
Hero is UTG with 77
Villain is UTG+1
Hero raises $15 (standard open) with $250ish behind, villain has me covered.
Villain calls, rest fold.
Flop: A75r
Hero leads for $20, Villain raises to $100 total.
Notes about Villain: He plays for a living; we have some history and I rarely see him get out of line. He has seen me Cbet into one or 2 on an A high board with under pairs and usually give up if called depending on the exact person and texture (he may or may not know it's villain dependent).
I decided to flat call, I'm not really putting him on any air on this flop, despite the read mentioned above.
Turn: K
I really thought this was a terrible card for me, not because it hurt my hand, but because my hand mostly looks like AK OTF and at the time I was putting him on A5/55. I was planning on open shipping turn, but after this card, I checked, expecting him to check behind and only bet 55, then I would ship river. I check, he checks.
River: 9
I open ship and he calls. I'll post what he had later.
What I'm really interested in is given that I had only just over 1/2 pot OTF after the raise should I have just stuck it in. At the time I was thinking I wanted to balance out times when I wanted to flat a raise with AK on drawy boards (I know he can raise draws), even though I can say I was thinking I would have folded AK on this board to the raise.
What if I actually had AK OTF, how would you have then played that. Keep in mind that this may be $1/$2 but really we are playing $2/$5 with 56bb.
