I would have shoved turn... I honestly don't know what I will do because I avoid getting into those tricky spots.... He could have a missed flush draw, or he may have hit the nuts with KJs..

I would have put in a massive raise with 2 pair, ace and any picture could pair up.

Ya but don't you want some value for that hand? A massive raise only scares ppl from calling correct? A raise sure a Really Big Raise, I'm not too sure on that

If you bet for more than a third of your remaining chips on the turn you should go all in. If he calls on the turn and bets the river you almost have to call. If he had a flush draw all in would price him out; and you want him to call with smaller two pair. dought he had aq becuase he limped. becuase he called a huge raise with bad pot odds out of position on the flop im guessing he has a set or AsXs. I might have wanted to check the turn hoping he would thin value bet the river or bluff into me and just call not that i like giving free cards but sometimes its better to play it safe. If you checked the turn they probably wouldn't overbet for value. Fold pre flop would have been better.

So the pots 15k, he bets 5k (20k pot now) so you get 4:1. This is a must call. Flush draws missed, 56 missed, he check/called the turn. Doesn't have to be bluffing often to make this call good, and you have him covered.

I agree with this ^^

Barring any crazy reads, this has to be a call as played, right?

You think he'll be bluffing when he knows you've got a strong hand? w/o reads it's a weird spot... villain only 'calls' turn (would they just 'call' turn with a set?)... does he actually shove river with missed FD when it's doubtful that OP is ever finding a fold?

imo, villain has 44, OP calls.. sees the set, thinks 'fml... could I have played this differently?' & posts hand in forum.

To me it looks either desperate or value town. With the odds we have though and we have him covered, we have to call imo.

buster on the money

Buster you on the money , the turn bet should have been allin as I was comitting too much of my stack putting myself in a ****ed up spot on the river.
The bet initself was enough to deny a flush draw the expressed odds, but two smaller pair calling here imo. On the turn I put villan on Ax (but not AQ)
or two smaller pair. I dont know about checking on the turn and not charging the flush draw, because you still leave yourself in a difficult situation
on the river and gain no info . villan checking the turn and then only calling doesnt really make sense with a set as he probably would be protecting
his hand with the huge pot, right? When villan shoved the rest of his chips on the river , i went into the tank for sometime and said I think I just got
rivered , so if I went with my fealing I could have gotten away from this hand and still had chips , I guess what threw me off was the attractive pot odds
and because i havent seen villan at the casino before so he wasnt a local and the fact he reached for his beer created an image of villan as loose
drunk. So I take all you advise that pre flop fold a better choice here. Although Dont the 6-1 pot odds ever get tempting for anyone the button ?
Thanks for the input. I called the river bet, villan shows As 10s and takes down the pot with two higher pair.

If you bet for more than a third of your remaining chips on the turn you should go all in. If he calls on the turn and bets the river you almost have to call. If he had a flush draw all in would price him out; and you want him to call with smaller two pair. dought he had aq becuase he limped. becuase he called a huge raise with bad pot odds out of position on the flop im guessing he has a set or AsXs.

why do we want him to fold flush draws?

There is no tricky spot on the river here, as played when we be the turn we're committed, so essentially the key decisions are flop and turn right?

^^^ This.

As played, no way you can fold river. I actually don't mind this at all. I would have bet closer to 2/3pot on turn, and call a river shove / put him all in if he checks.

Looks like he missed the draw or has a pair of As w/ a better kicker. Might show up with AT or a set sometimes.

No way you can fold anywhere in this pot, though. How can you fold pre when it limps around to you on the BTN w/ A7? I don't mind a limp pre, and depending on table dynamics I like a raise pre on the BTN. We're definitely pot committed by the turn, and generally I'm not trying to fold flopped TOP 2 when he was unlikely to hit draws by the river (unless he is a nut and was chasing the backdoor gutshot).

Hmmm I think your right about just folding this hand preflop! 6 to 1 sure why not but the guy would have called any huge raise on the flop because he had A10 when everyone limped! You have a lot of different options during every stage of the hand! However if you hit A7 ten flops in a row! He would not get that ten very often! You also had quite a few blind left to wait for better risk spots! Good luck in your next live play!

Winner.

I love how most people in this thread are debating the marginal decisions made on the later streets, but ignoring the massive spew preflop.

Limping on the button 6-handed in a 6-way pot, at these stacks, with A7, is a massive spew? Not sure about that. You are getting 6-1 in position with Ace-mid kicker in a short-handed game.

You could give me 10:1, I don't think I'd limp in with A7. I think there's only one other hand (A6) that gives off more reverse implied odds in a limped pot.

Massive, massive spew. ESPECIALLY at these stacks.

Fold > Raise >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Call in my opinion.
