Is not lucrative in to limp, but ok. Many people in the pot, you could have been more aggressive because the board down you would still call for overcards, set, pocket pairs.

I'm probably going to attract attention with my comment but this is a prime example why limping is bad for your game

If your gonna play a hand at least raise...(situational)

You dont want to have someone draw out on you

Edit: my comment is strictly my opinion which isn't worth much, as I am a losing player.

This was very early in a 45 player SnG at a table where a preflop raise of nearly any size would not have scared anyone off so why make it bigger....
This was a dream flop in the situation, and giving someone a chance to chase an over or set and hit with a small bet post flop was a money play on a rainbow board, I didn't want to bet big enough for them to catch on to my nut straight.
Maybe a bigger bet after the turn hit?

Limping with 78s UTG when 42 BB deep is never good.
You got what you wanted, a cheap flop and the nuts, so go for it.

Basically you destroyed yourself here with your poor bet sizing.
Bet bigger and go for value. Since this is a lousy tournament you'll often get paid from poor players with marginal hands.

Work on your bet sizing.

Thank you. I will work on it.

Also, No I didn't call. How could I with 2 pair on the board and so many seen the flop.

As played, it's OK to fold on the river obviously.

But the point is in your preflop and postflop bad play. You're definitely not deep enough to play speculative hands like 87s OOP, especially not UTG. So just fold that preflop. As i said, you flopped the goods, so bet big and get your max value and don't give them a cheap price to outdraw you.

This should help:

wow that was some aweful beting... use those buttons to go from 60% or 70% of the pot and you will start to do a lot better,... and 2,5x to 3x raise pre-flop please

evrything was wrote . with nuts on flop , u can let show the turn but not more . each card could be a problem and on this case the river is a scary card

 

[MasterOfDisaster]

7 handed nobody ever opens 78s? <--- Know it is really on the loose site, but I have a hard time folding nice looking suited connectors.

Obvious as played bet bigger on the flop and turn and I think most of the time it is still a fold preflop, but otherwise openraise it!

With the nuts and many limpers, you should overbet the pot, but it depends on wether you are playing good players or poor ones. Since this is a low buy-in tournament and there are many poor players, you should overbet the pot so that they pay for their draws. And honestly, folding the river is a very marginal move, because if he had a set you would have most likely been reraised on the flop. The most probable hands for the villain would have been an 6x type of hand.

I couldn't agree more. Use half of the pot size as a basic guide and adjust from there for betting.
