$200 NL HE Full Ring: Live game: Worst full house on river

Action is 4-handed to the flop. PFR is reasonably solid but unsophisticated, is somewhat tilty after he lost a huge stack by shoving AK into AA/KK preflop.

He raises UTG to $15 and has about $650, I call with 33 and I have $445. Two others call, including a very loose player in the blinds.

Flop is J 7 3 rainbow. BB checks, UTG bets $45, I smooth call, 2 fold.

Turn is 9h, putting possible straight and two hearts on the board. He bets $90, I raise to $190. He hesitates a minute and he calls.

River is 7c. He looks disgusted and checks emphatically.

He knows I'm very tight. It might be worth mentioning that J7 is a very popular hand to play in this club as a couple of action players have popularized it.

My read is he has a big hand, probably a large one-pair type hand, AJ/QQ/KK/AA. But if he has a set I think he'd play it about the same way. I'm also not sure he's capable of laying down a huge hand, but I'm slightly worried that he's hollywooding a bit. I suppose this is a shove 100% of the time anyway?

With that many players in the pot and a bet on the flop, I would reraise. Since you have gone all the way to the river, I would put a value bet out there. Shoving would probably get him to fold.

Never wrong to shove with a boat imo... but if you feel like you have a read on him and wanna play it cautious I suppose you can check back and show down. Table will probably rag on you a bit if u win and didnt raise on the river tho lol.

Shove for value, there's over $500 in the pot and you have less than $200 in your stack. If you're beat, you're beat. Most likely he shows up with an overpair, Tp/Tk, trips, or folds a busted draw or counterfeitted two pair.Occaisonally he shows up with a better boat, or god forbid, quads. But the times he calls with a worse hand easily pay for the times he calls with a better hand. Also, your raise on the turn was a little bit light. I'd probably be happy to stack off there, however that might be a bit of an overbet (not gonna do the math again, I've already done it and forgot it 3 times). Also, I doubt he bet the flop with a running heart draw unless it was a combo draw, incorperated a pair, or was a c-bet to make people fold.

I don't want to raise more on the turn, I think. Unless he has sets, two pair, or something like AhJh or JT, I am probably 95-100% on the turn and don't want to scare him off. I figure the turn raise is just enough to make a river shove too tempting for him.
