looks like a really good post. haven't read any of it. but i did read a lot of the previous thread on this topic.
i just came on to say: i love FTR! thanks for the advice. on this exact topic. i raised to 4xBB pf utg FR with 77 (i might have this play in the past) then an opponent in mid position raises to 3.5xmy bet. everybody else folds. usually i fold this because he has shown a tonne of strength and i'm quite sure i'm beat or that he'll take the pot off me on the flop unless i hit trips.
anyway this time i decided to call - listening to the advice posted here (we both had full stacks). and if i stack him im getting about 12 to 1.
anyway, i flop the 7. i check. he bets pot. i minraise (we're basically comitted if he calls my bet). he moves allin. i call. and double up!
a few minutes earlier i had a similar situation with 77 on another table and didn't flop the set. (and i was a tiny, tiny bit annoyed with FTR but realized it would be good in the long run)
it's a good feeling stacking someone as i'm sure everybody knows.
