Fold

Im not sure why you would think about calling here with 77 given there is a raise in front that is 8.5 BBs or and we are out of position. Plus any flop that does not have a 7 will not be good as even a 245 rainbow flop could have you potentially stacking off (even though you shouldnt stack off there) to bigger pocket pairs. The only options here are to 4 bet or fold. I dont like 4 betting with 77 even if I think I have a good read on the villain so your best course of action here is to just fold.

This is a very trivial fold. Against just the UTG min-raise, we can call to setmine, but when someone has put in a 3-bet, this is not even something, we need to think about. Even with something as strong as TT or JJ, folding here is totally fine, given that we are facing a 3-bet of an UTG open, and we are 76BB deep. The 3-bet is very large though, and if CO is some crazy spew fish, then we can 4-bet TT-JJ with intentions to call it off, if he jam.

I'm fold as you all said about, cause 3bet was too big, CO had 3x stack over my and I'm not see his playing before, but when I saw his played this hand, I sick about my fold. As I understand, CO raise his stack and bounty only by luck and was eliminated by his fish play 20 minutes later.

You can't be sick about the GOOD fold you made just because the 7 binked the river.
You would never have made it to the river to see the 7.
77 fold pre is a solid fundamental play - and you made the correct play.

We can't be results oriented, we need to focus on making the correct decisions.

Good fold.

I really don't like the bounty tourneys, even i play them on micro, low exactly because of these fellas, and sometimes i beat myself because I overestimate their hands. And as it was a micro bounty UTG mini-raise, the only thing why i fold it because of the stack size of the UTG, if it is near to mine, or at least half of mine, I call. Mostly because he won't go allin often, except with very few stronger hands than mine, so i can easily fold, and the re-raiser obviously the bounty hunter type - based on his stack size in this early phase of the tourney -, and there is a good chance to triple up on them, also good chance they don't have pairs and they block each others' outs...

But in this given case, the automatic fold was okay, even if you'd get the full on the river...
