That is a nasty hand tbh, but why such a big overbet on the river?

Surely you want him to call there?? unless the over-bet was meant to act as a bluff and you have a read on him?

Can't blame the bet on the river - I would have been instashoving

i figure he has a queen or a seven. obv he calls 100% of the time either bet with a queen, and some of the time with a 7.

if i raise to 15 and he calls 100% of the time with a 7 i win an additional $9
if i raise to $47and he calls 40% of the time with a 7 i win an additional $41*.40= $16.40

if he calls 100% of the time with the small bet and only 22% of the time when i make the shove, it's breakeven (.22*41=9). i figure him to call more than that.

i dont think there's anything he would call a $10 bet with that he wouldn't call a $40 one with. it's either a q or a 7 most of the time or hes folding.
