Pre-flop I raise this, I am not particularly fond of limped pots as it brings these types of situations so frequently. From the action I think you are ahead on the flop, after that you are looking at a pretty slim range of hands based on the villains line (A5, A7, 55 or 77 or air, best i can tell). You may be looking at a worse Ace or a King, but like i said in a limped pot it is so hard to tell. I don't think I have the guts to make a hero call here and find out.

can i ask, why didnt you praise preflop or bet the flop?

to me that is extremely passive play. i would 100% be raising this preflop and then betting for value on the flop.

the way you have played it, it is almost impossible to work out what the other people are likely to have. quite possibly a rivered 2 pair or set but preflop and on the flop are huge mistakes imo.

Raise pre and bet flop and we probably don't have that river decision at all. As played I fold river.
