2 pairs facing check raise on bubble. 6max $3,50

PokerStars - $3.19+$0.31|75/150 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 3 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

SB: 5,368.00
Hero (BB): 2,015.00
BTN: 1,617.00

SB posts SB 75.00, Hero posts BB 150.00

Pre Flop: (225.00) Hero has T 7

fold, SB calls 75.00, Hero checks

Flop: (300.00, 2 players) 7 4 Q
SB checks, Hero bets 150.00, SB calls 150.00

Turn: (600.00, 2 players) T
SB checks, Hero bets 300.00, SB raises to 1,050.00, [color=red]Hero ??

What can I do here? His check raise seems strong, but he is the chip leader by far,so he could be doing this with a draw, Qx a pair and a draw, also be bluffing. Should I fold here?

In game, snap call.

Thinking about it ...

How often does he limp the SB, and how often does he do it to trap? If it's a sudden limp from an aggro player, it looks an awful lot like a big pair (and if so, we're most likely miles ahead).

How is his understanding of potodds and fold equity? 3/4 pot raise looks like he doesn't want you drawing any more cards (which puts us way ahead or way behind) and is acting a bit late to stop you, but he's not necessarily thinking about any of that at this buy-in.

Reads would be good, but I don't think you can fold with over half your stack in there anyway. Too many hands you're beating, and it leaves you very short on the bubble if you fold. Much better to call here than have to push such a short stack in the immediate future.
