His bet looking like a blocker bet and I felt I don't rep much with a raise on the river and might get called by 88 or some single pair hand. Is this too thin?

Hey Clawindsouza,

Preflop open-raise is fine.

Cbet is ok here with the intention of barreling decent turn cards.

7:s not the greatest barrel card, perfectly fine to check turn and give up here.

River is generally just a call. Raising likely too thin. It's hard for opponent to even call with worse Qx so often we are either taking the pot down or isolating ourself vs better hands on the river.
