TT even if he played it that way up until the turn he's going to fold the turn. 55 and 77, you have him facing a bet on the turn on a board of J

A
and he.... just flats and then donks the river? He is obviously going to checkraise the turn, both to protect his hand and to get stacks in. Flatting turn and donking river is a good way to deliver free cards to your opponent and simultaneously guarantee that stacks don't go in.
55 and 77 are only 6 combos in any case and he would:
- Probably checkraise the flop
- Checkraise the turn 99.9% of the time
- If he somehow avoided doing all that because he is obsessed with trap lines, then he'd continue the trap by checking river.
When you start with only 6 combos and navigate your way through three streets where he does something super unlikely on each street, you end up with close to zero chance that he has those hands.
