BB shows 7♥ 6♥ (Straight, Seven High)
(Pre 46%, Flop 31%, Turn 16%)
Hero mucks 3♠ A♠ (Straight, Five High)
(Pre 54%, Flop 69%, Turn 84%)
BB wins 85.5 BB

My Thoughts: On the flop i thought i was so far ahead that i checked trying to keep my opponents on the hand. The turn was kinda scary and BB bets, a raise here would probably trow him out of the hand, but should i really kick someone looking for a gutshot out of the hand? On the river i thought he had a set on the flop that turned fullhouse on the turn, still i called his overbet, should i have folded there?

All cards eight and lower are bad news. Bet and raise with good hands. The better the hands, the bigger the bets and raises (no need to masquerade) - especially multiway. This is the exact opposite of what you are doing.

Flop is a mandatory bet.

You have to bet flop. When you checked I would raise OTT. BB seems quite tight and he overbets. You definitely have Ax hands in your range and you have a straight very often here. If he has Ax too it would be stupid for him to bet so big and increase the rake. I doubt he is bluffing you out of a split. He can have 6x or full houses. You can fold OTR.

Bet your monsters for value.

When in doubt, think about slowplaying, but then remember it's stupid and bet anyway.

This one is a super poor example of a slowplay - regardless of protection issues against bigger straights or sets turning into books - because you lose a potential street of value against any medium pocket pair.

Btw, river u can find a fold. BB player is too nit to bet this size here as a bluff. And value, in this board, has u beat.

Calling and folding have their virtues. We cannot say as we saw the result...

With four to a straight, me having the lower side and facing a sizeable bet from a nit player... I m more inclined to fold.
