ok this may be an issue of scared money as it i was playing outside BRM and just wanted a BSS feel for the level above my usual

i was only on one table, this is what happened on my 4th hand:
Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.5/$1 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BB$119.05:///////;UTG1$20.00:///////;UTG2$51.20:///////;MP1$12.00:///////;MP2$100.50:///////;MP3(Hero)$100.00:///////;CO$209.50:///////;BU$14.00:///////;SB$115.35:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 7:s, A:d.
UTG1 folds, UTG2 calls $1.00, 2 folds, Hero calls $1.00, 2 folds, SB calls $0.50, BB checks.

Flop: ($4) A:s, 4:c, 7:h (4 players)

Turn: ($10) T:h (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $6.00, SB raises to $28.00, Hero calls $22.00.

River: ($66) 8:c (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: $66.
Results follow:

Hero shows two pairs, aces and sevens(7:s A:d).
SB shows two pairs, tens and sevens(7:d T:c).

Hero wins with two pairs, aces and sevens(7:s A:d).

should i have bet the river? when i was waiting for blinds i saw him limp 55 from sb. was it wise to check it down as i was afraid of 44?

first of all, dont show us the results ! ;)

Preflop: either i isolate A7o there or i fold. Limping is no option there for me. You will play a multiwaypot and thats not what you want with A7o. Flop is standard.
On Turn i raise bigger than 6$. To his rr i tend to 3bet him. There are a lot of draws like A :heart:x combinations or something like 5 :heart:6 :heart: or GS+FD.
The other option is to call turn and call blank on river.

Fold preflop!!

As played i like call turn, call blank river a lot more than 3betting the turn because it's hard for him to have hands that you beat and that he's willing to stack off with.

Btw i think he rarely checkraises A :heart:x :heart: on the turn.
