Fellow sportsmen, need some advise. How could I have played this hand differently? I was at a live 7 handed game. Blinds $2/4. Pre-flop I have black 77. standard x2 BB raise by button. I call in cut-off (I had limped). 2 other callers in early position. Flop 5 7 9 with 2 hearts. Checked to me. I raise x1 pot. Button (original raiser) min raises. Fold fold. Action to me. If I soft call, I will be down to 50% of the stack I started the hand with. Opponent is very deep. I soft call. Turn 8 of hearts. I check. I have a strong feel the opponent (old nemesis, LAG) does not have a flush. He calls me all-in. I still don't think he has a flush but has at least a straight. I think and then call. River a brick. I lose my stack. What could I have done except folding to re-raise on flop? Thanks & Cheers!!
