What is the play here? Is it okay to just call?

Not enough data to figure out whether BB is going to squeeze here super wide. Some super agro BB players here might honestly just shove like 30% of their range because they'd be increasing their stack about 16-17%.

You can possibly pick up quite a few chips here, too. Not sure I like 77 as a squeeze, though with your stack size. I'd probably take my chances and flat. I think I'd seriously consider calling a squeeze shove by BB though if he were to manage to pull it off.

Just make your life easy with flat, if you ISO UTG and get shoved on by UTG/BB it isn't a clear call for you, marginal at best. You're going to be OOP even when you raise, and these middling pocket pairs don't play well, on most flop you're going to have to either bet, check, fold or check and fold to cbet. Don't charge yourself for a setmine, 7's aren't that strong.

I would consider this as an opportunity to mine a set for a very attractive price and just complete sb.
77 is not that strong hand to ISO here, you will have hard time if BB or UTG shove after your raise.

Yes just call. Too high a risk of getting multiple callers to your raise and having to play 77 out of position multiway.

Call, flop quads, profit.

Call. With 7-7 in this position you wish go get at 7 on flop and this is a greate price. On the flop or turn try to squeeze depending whos betting and calling. Or check-raise, on turn.

If you dont find a 7 you fold of course.

If BB go all in pre, you are the last to act and 7-7 isnt bad in that situation either. A good coinflip-opportunity. BB got 21% pfr. 7-7 is better.
