Its 1-2 Live with a 5 euro straddle UTG. HJ limps, I limp behind in the CO with 77. Small blind raises to 25, UTG calls, HJ calls, and I call.

Flop: 882
Pot: 100 euro
Checks to me and I decide to bet 50 with my second pair to the board, folds to HJ who calls. I get a read on him here that he is weak because 1 he didn't bet the flop after two people checked to him, and 2, he snap calls.

Turn:3
Pot:200
HJ checks to me and with only 67 left behind I wan't sure what the best line was. Not sure if I should check, or try and force two overs to fold. The only hands he should call me with here is A8/K8 suited or 99-JJ.
I decide to move all in, he snap calls me then mucks on an 8 river.

Preflop : Assuming we're playing a 142 euro stack, I would strongly consider shoving once the action got back to me. There's a healthy chunk of dead money to take & our hand could easily be best. It's obviously dependent on what we consider SB's range to be. If he can have hands like AT, AJ, KQ, or worse, and may find some folds, it's probably greatly +EV for us to just shove it in.

Postflop : Well played. Consider that better pocket pairs are likely to raise preflop or bet flop themselves (protection mentality). While we definitely have to worry about being beat on the turn, our bet is so small in relation to the pot that HJ will likely call us with any hand he called on the flop. Especially on this turn.
