I am curious what others will say about limping in the SB when player has posted a dead blind.
If anyone ever does that, I would raise 4BB or fold.
So often the dead blind just folds

Also, the board was paired on the flop.
If you had raised preflop, you now have the authority to bet the flop.
You showed strength pre-flop now you reinforce it.

As played I guess you have to fold that river

Limping seems fine. 97s has decent playabillity post-flop.
On flop I would most likely just call. You have only a draw and if villain has hit this board it will be tough to get a fold. If you would face a 3bet you need to fold as well.

Turn and river sems standard as played. Decent change villain has a full house.

Flop - 2 overcards and a flush draw on a paired board, with BB's 100% range left behind you. I would call CO and keep the pot from growing too big and see if my hand improves on the turn.

Turn - I like the 2/3 bet. Could also x-call, but if he doesn't bet, then you're losing value.

River - x-fold is fine, but what about making a small 1/3 pot size bet and fold to any re-raise... (I'm thinking that certain villains might bet an :Ax: hand here into your river check, or even call down with it as a bluff-catch, to make a small bet here a profitable line... maybe... I dunno... don't listen to me... just exploring an idea... :sifflote: )
