$25 NL HE 6-max: Huhh??? 77 V. A9

Ok, so I had been at this table for a while and had a read that this guy with 77 was fairly TAG, and I had narrowed his hole cards to mid pairs or overcards by the flop. I was pretty sure I could get him off his hand, which is why I was betting: until the river, when I knew I had him. I was wondering if you gouys could tell me what you think HIS thought process could have been in the hand::

I know how I played this hand is VERY debatable, but I want to know what you guys think was going through my opponents head???

If you're playing hands in this fashion regularly and he's picked up on it, he's likely correctly putting you on a lousy hand and thinks he's getting value. He should've raised the flop if that's what he was thinking, so his bad.

Well no, I would rarely play a hand like this. I think I played this hand pretty badly until the river. Thanks for your input though, I appreciate it.

Saying that you put him on mid pairs on the flop, what was going through your mind when the flop was low enough to complete a set for him?

Mid pairs not low pairs, I don't think it is very likely that he has 33 or 44 here.
