ATo calldown BB vs BTN
Not much in the way of stats on this player but from the few hands I've seen I assume he's some sort of reasonably active reg.
Checkraising the flop feels a bit meh despite his tiny bet (probably a "range bet"?) so I feel the flop at least is fine. From there I am completely unsure of how standard my calldown is. His range has some Ax - probably some that I beat. In terms of draws he has some turned FDs and probably gutshots from the flop that barrel the K. I don't think 7x bets the flop so no trips, and I would be surprised to see A7 here given the tiny flop cbet (could be wrong there but it isn't an important part of his range).

Is this just a standard calldown and don't think about it?

I don't think this is overbluffed and inclined to fold
Do we ever have AJ+ here? If not, probably calling.

Hey frost,
Some pool research in this spot.
FLOP
This is the composition of different flop sizes of the preflop raiser in position.
Spoiler
The 33% sizing is the most widely used and this is its filling:
Spoiler
As you can see, there are a lot of marge hands here, such as PP, LP, and MP (yellow color), so I wouldn't expect the opponent to check often with A7.
To simplify, I would assume that the opponent makes a Range Bet on the flop.
Maybe the solver mixes the Top Pair into the check/raise range, but I would limit myself to the best Top Pair in our range (AJ).
With this hand, we have a check/raise for value and we can use it to protect the check/raise-check-call line.
The call is default play with our hand.
TURN
Bet - Bet line:
Spoiler
Sizing is 70-90% of the most common and has a more polar filling:
Spoiler
The turn runout introduces a variety of draw hands into the opponent's range, potentially prompting continued betting and creating opportunities for bluffs on the river.
Our hand is ahead against multiple draws and rare TPWK.
The call is fine.
RIVER
Common Regs Bet-Bet-Bet line and 70-90% size filling:
Spoiler
This range looks pretty strong and I think we have a bluff catch hand here.
So this is not a standard call down.
These are the ranges of regs depending on their aggressiveness:
Spoiler
The aggressiveness of your opponent plays a crucial role in determining the viability of a bluff catch on the river.
If you believe there's a chance your opponent might attempt to bluff with missed draws, opting for a call could be a suitable choice.
When faced with uncertainty or a lack of information regarding your opponent's tendencies, leaning towards a fold might be a prudent choice.
Micro-stakes games often exhibit a passive playing style, and without clear indications of aggression from your opponent, preserving your stack by folding could be a safer approach.
Always assess the specific dynamics of the hand and your opponent's playing style for the most effective decision-making.
