Most people got it wrong
I’ve run a twitter poll on this exact situation and the majority wanted to play it safe so they chose the wrong option.
So I want to encourage you to keep an eye on these situations. You need to talk about it, to review it, and not just pull up a solver and see what you have to do.
Learn to adjust the ranges. Think about what is your opponent likely doing. And based on that you want to adapt your strategy.
Value bet 77 or not on the river?
