This.
This seems like a pretty basic problem to me.
First, what is his capping range?
Second, how many of those things are you ahead of and how many are you behind?
1. His capping range: Okay, no read on villain. Why not? But you can give him a capping range of AA-JJ/AK probably.
2. AA: 6 combos
AK: 8 combos
KK: 1 combo for a chop
QQ: 3 combos
JJ: 6 combos
So you're trailing 9 combos, ahead of 14, and chopping with 1. You can probably discount AK/JJ slightly so you're essentially about even with his range. It's HU. You're in position, so just play WA/WB and bet if he checks; call if he bets.
If you can expand his range beyond AA-JJ/AK, say, by adding AQ/TT etc, then raise the flop. You're no longer equally likely to be WA and WB. You're probably WA.
Also, who cares about shaking him? If he's capping pf with 77 and you have an overpair to the board, you want to bet for value. You have his range crushed.
nh imo; next time you have a better idea of his range.
