Poker Stars $6.00+$0.50 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t15/t30 Blinds - 8 players

BB: t1480 M = 32.89
UTG: t1470 M = 32.67
UTG+1: t1460 M = 32.44
MP1: t1700 M = 37.78
MP2: t1470 M = 32.67
Hero (CO): t1470 M = 32.67
BTN: t2140 M = 47.56
SB: t2310 M = 51.33

Pre Flop: (t45) Hero is CO with 7♣ 7♥
4 folds, Hero raises to t90, 1 fold, SB calls t75, 1 fold

Flop: (t210) 8♠ 7♠ 3♥ (2 players)
SB bets t120, Hero raises to t270, SB calls t150

Turn: (t750) T♥ (2 players)
SB bets t180, Hero raises to t1110 all in, SB calls t930

River: (t2970) J♥ (2 players - 1 is all in)

Final Pot: t2970
Hero shows 7c 7h (three of a kind, Sevens)
SB shows Qh 9h (a flush, Queen high)
SB wins t2970
Hero?

another reason why I play less pairs preflop early these days, even for set value.

You can definitely open fold 77 in this spot to keep a tight image for later rounds but I like your play. You're making sure that your opponent only calls you with an ok hand an thus increase your chance of stacking him if you hit.
I understand that you want to suck him in on the flop but I would probably still raise to the 360 there as the extra couple of chips won't probably make that much difference to him.. I like your push on the turn to his probably weak block bet or whatever that is. Definitelly looks like he wants to draw cheaply and you should deny that.
So NH IMO.

Hi all,

I would never openfold this hand from this position first-in, it's simply way too nitty.

On the flop I'd raise quite a bit more... it's a super drawheavy board and even though we have the redraw to a boat in case he does make a straight/flush, we should still protect our hand.

As played turn is standard.
