Sometimes you are in a tough spot and can only recognize an error in judgement when play is over and you see everyone's cards. I do think a better way to play this hand would have been bet half the pot on the flop, even though it gives a flush draw theoretical proper odds to call. They might be getting 3 to 1 but the chances of the turn being a heart are at best a little over 4:1. When no heart hits the turn, bet the pot and price him out of a draw and take the pot down. Since in this case he already had the flush on the flop there is a good chance he would have check raised your flop bet and you would know what you are dealing with. If he would have checked called your flop and river bet he was just patient and outplayed you, not much you can do. A big mistake was making a bet only to scare people off, not intending to get called. The majority of the time the only call you get will beat you and the other times you won't get called, so a very -ev bet.

I think a bet on the flop has value to. A raise would at least signal a big draw. It has to be an awful flop for 7's though. The king high flush should be looking to price out a potential nut flush draw for someone holding the ace of hearts. He might of thought you had the ace of hearts.

I was playing for about 20 minutes to a half hour when this hand occurred. I started with $200.00 and had about $170.00 or $180.00 in my stack. I had pocket 7's and made the bet $15.00. Three people behind me folded, putting me in last position. It was to early to know the tight players and loose players. What surprised me was, when it came my turn, I was really confused because I always play fix limit. Watching on television is a lot different than playing live. (i was playing in a casino).That's why I went a long with the check after the flop (whether I was right or wrong) because I needed time to think.

Clarkocal, I agree with you. I should have felt him out a little bit, in terms of a smaller bet. There was no reason to lose all my money in that pot. Remember, he dosen't want to lose me, so he would have made maybe $60.00 to $100.00 of me.

....because I needed time to think.
Then you should have taken the time to think.There's no time limit. After a while, the dealer may remind you that it's your turn, because it does happen occasionally where the person doesn't realize the action is on him. Other than that, you can take however long you want, until another player calls for the clock. At that point, you have, usually, 60 seconds.

I just had a chance to read all the responses and I thank you all. Another thing that confused me was , when I went all in, he hesitated. There was no way he was going to fold the hand, but after he hesitated I thought the hand was mine. In fact his exact words were 'O.K., I call, then he stood up. After seeing my three sevens he was repeatedly saying , NO PAIR, NO PAIR. . i was just so baffled on the whole concept of the way the hand played out compared to fix limit.

I can't count all the times I stayed in with a full house - and lost. Despite that, only folded a FH in a live cash game once. His flush was beatable by an ace-high one, so he was right to take a moment to think. And then, again, right to decide to call.

DJTeddyBear, what happened was, when it came my turn after the flop, I did sit there and think a little bit. But it seemed the more I thought, the more confused I became (in fact, I was getting a little nervous). That's the reason I check on the flop. I forget who said it, but I suggest never getting in a no limit game unless you practice somewhere to get the full understanding of the game.

He hestitated as he was trying to think if you hand the ace-high flush, a draw to an ace high flush or a set/two-pair.Raising the 7's in middle position is probably a bit loose... you'll be called by a lot of better hands, and you really need a 7 on the flop to continue with it. Any ace or face on the flop and your raise is called pre-flop and your making a hard decision if you don't make the set
A bet on the flop would have done wonders... if he smooth calls you can continue the bet on the river. There your semi-bluffing... you can be bluffing you have a flush, and drawing to the house. Course if he smooth calls the flop, he might have the nut flush already, and hoping you get a card that gets you in trouble (hence his check on the flop), so a continuation bet on the turn might also get called, but I would expect the ace-high flush to be raising at this point on the flop once he's seen action in front to make a weaker flush pay him off and to give the wrong price to anyone drawing to a full house.
If you get raised on the flop, you can get away from the hand. Same on the turn, a half to 3/4 pot bet you can fold to anything aggressive coming back at you.
Basically, a middle set on the flop wants to win the hand as soon as possible. A middle set on a 3 flush flop REALLY wants to win it as soon as possible. Try to win it there and if not walk away for much less than your stack.
