Just posting a hand with zero info and no thought process is not going to help you and makes it hard for anybody to actually review the Hand.

Its safe to say that BU is a fish, not sitting on a full stack and limping the BU is obv.
In general:
Hero calling in the Micros is not a good idea.
Fish are mostly passive and like to call, therefore when they bet they most likely have some good of a hand.
Flop play is standard, but i'd like to size it up vs Fish.
Turnplay: We have some SDV so checking and going for SDV should be ok. When BU bets multiway in a micro game and us beeing out of position limiting our options on the river i think folding is the way to go here. We don't know what what UTG is going to do. Worst case is that he x/r and and we payed 1.1$ without realising any equity. Also giving the population read that they don't tend to bluff enough has to be factored in. I would tend to overfold this spot.
River: So the BDFD and the SD miss both, but V gets in a a bet again. At this point, and yes some of the time he might show us a bluff, but discount all the K♠: combos that now have us beat makes it fairly thin call.

Hi SlyBoogyz,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com! :welcome:

Without any background on the players, and decent odds, I like it.
It would be more comfortable if you had some history on the player though...

PRE and OTF I like! :f_thumbsup:
OTT: I c myself slowing down, which u did. Calling 60% bet from Villian is tough and certainly villian depended.
OTR: Calling here seems weak vs. BTN-Range! ... He either has a Qx or Kx with the occasionally :spade: - draw.

Sorry for the messy post, first hand i posted. On the river i did not think that he would jammed like Qx or Kx for value, cause over my 5000 hands in the micros most of them just bet small or even check. so the only hands i could think of where 33, 66, 77 unlikely cause of flop action and maybe KQo, those combos i compared with all the bluff combos he could have after limping and calling pre. In my recorded hands i made two hero calls like that and was right but i just kinda felt wrong afterwards so i wanted another opinion. Thanks for the feedback on the post and on the hand.

I have moved your hand to our hand discussion forum. There fits it better.
Pre-flop is already tricky to raise A7o out of position against most likely 2 fishy players based on the limps. As played I would Cbet around 60c against 3 villains with top pair top kicker. Turn is tricky, but tough to expect villain will bluff against 2 villains. I would most likely make a tight fold here with in mind if you call you need to call on any black river card as well.

Cheers,

A7o is too weak to iso pre. Just call.
Like the lead, like the size.
Calling here is a mistake without specific info and is a losing call longrun.

Turn is a check/fold for me... Even if the guy is bluffing - he won't be the next time you choose this line...

Yeah, the Turn looks like x/fold. He leads into 3 way flop. Looks strong imo.
