I know that we were ahead all the time in this situation but let imagine the opponent is not holding a better fullhouse
Did I played it ok after all or too passive on the turn

Donking might have only scared middle pairs, gutshots, air, basically all worse hands than yours.

A7s is in my 3betting range preflop. Therefore I wouldn't necessarily call it. In general your SB Callingrange should be much tighter than your BB callingrange.

On the turn I agree with my foreposters. X/c seems like the best line here

As played on the river:

His callingrange if you donk should also be betting the river. I rarely see anyone checking a worse Ax. Therefore I would go for a x/r on the river for max value instead of donking.

As played.. (edit): It's a pretty clear call:


Board: A♥J♦9♥ 7♠ A♠
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    53.85%  53.85%   0.00% { Ac7c }
MP3    46.15%  46.15%   0.00% { JJ, 99, 77, A9s, AJo, A9o }

There is nothing much more to be gained by check-raising. You can go wither way, it depends on how villain perceives your donk. He might think "that little creep is representing an A he doesn't have" or he might think "a river donk is always the nuts". You simply don't know, but he is not always paying off a check-raise.

I disagree. Even if there is just a small chance that Villain calls a checkraise with JJ/99/77 I will use it. And I think this chance is not that small on NL5 that people are paying you off.. but it makes less sense to donk also because it's very unlikely that villain double-barrells with a second pair here. Thus his river range is very polarized between Ax, Boats and a busted flushdraw. And I don't see busted flushdraws betting here and obv. not bluff-raising or calling any donk

Then you forget the majority of hands; pairs that simply check-back river.
