I decided to call because:
a/ I had the feeling he was desperate. He was sighing and splash-folding hand after hand, b*tching about the fact he didn't catch anything. Now he's UTG, the blinds are about to cripple him and he looked at his hand and he was like "pfft all-in".

Just wondering which part of the bolded seems to fit with the part in red. On one hand you say he was tight and had been doing nothing but folding, and in the next breath you instacall with 77 because you read him for "pffft, all in"? Seems like a pretty big contradiction in here somewhere.
I'm not saying it's necessarily a fold, and I wouldn't fold online vs a 7BB shove, but vs a live nit who has been routinely folding I think that may be the one time I decide to pitch it. Better to be doing the shoving than the calling imo.
