Opening A7s on MP might be questionable at nl5. I mean, I can find plenty of hands with better playability that avoid dominated spots, tho if you feel like having decent edge on other players, what stop ya. Definitely bigger on the flop, try to put all your money ASAP.

You're just trying to put the blame on the player for losing the hand.
'Oh you lost a $2 hand because he rivered you? Well you should have bet 10c more 2 streets ago.'

Nonsense the hand was played fine.

Boy, in my humble opionion, betting let's face it "the nuts" for 1/2 of the pot in bloody 4way makes it fkn disruptively vulnerable to oncoming cards.

My point still stands. The OP is unsure of the river spot where dEV is highest. Instead of assuring him that river was fine you criticize his flop bet size. Imagine that the players we're 200bbs deep and river spot occurred. Now, consider what's more important, a 5bb flop bet change, or a 100bb river spot change. You see my point - it's relatively not that important.

It is normal. We can make bigger bets but still it is ok.

Thanks Guys!

I'm glad to read that I've not made huge mistakes here. Maybe the bet sizes could be better but he was quite loose and did some weird 2 cent bets who I can not place on the board. So that's why I continued betting.

Betting sizes are fine. The board is dry, and you want pairs and gutshots to stay in.
