Defend BB vs UTG w/ 77 and hit bottom set

UTG bets $0.86, Hero raises to $1.86

Hero bets $2.44

You really need to work on your sizings. We've been through this. I told you a lot of times. You cant win in poker betting 1/23 pot.

Your line is correct on every street though. OTR 75%+ bet for value seems fine

but hated the turn

You should hate and love that turn card. But i dont understand why do you hate the river? It gives you a full house witch gives you good opportunity to extract a lot of value out KJ. AQ will never fold here as well.

I would raise the flop around 3x, but I don't think the turn sizing is that bad bad with a set. River seems like a easy value bet with a full house. Around half pot seems fine or villain is passive.

Yes, it does give me a full house, but it is the worst one.

As for sizing, I generally bet between 1/3 to 2/3 of the pot — I'm not sure what is so wrong with that. Larger bets rarely get called, smaller bets quite often get raised. This might be lower-stakes thinking though — I'm fairly new to NL 25 Hold'em

This river is a good example:
I bet 1/3 pot — I'm not folding to a raise. I'm not sure if a larger bet would get called.

River: ($9.80, 2 players) T♥:
Hero bets $3.28, UTG calls $3.28

Hero shows 7♦:7♠: (Full House, Sevens full of Tens)
(Pre 54%, Flop 95%, Turn 91%)
UTG mucks T♠:K♣: (Three of a Kind, Tens)
(Pre 46%, Flop 5%, Turn 9%)
Hero wins $15.62
Rake paid $0.74

Larger bets rarely get called, smaller bets quite often get raised.

Without information about V's tendencies you want to bet big big portion of time your strong hands on the micros. You want to build a pot. Players on these stakes arent disciplined. They arent capable of making laydowns. Take advantage of this. That's why you should bet strong here. There is drawing possibilities on the flop as well. Your hand is strong but vulnurable. You need protection. With such a small bets you give him cheap chance to catch and crack your hand
