Don't know if I like my overall line on this hand

I'm checking back most rivers but passive villain ruins that plan by leading out on a scary runout

MP2 (t1,127)
CO (t1,651)
Button (t1,315)

Hero (UTG+1) (t2,417)
MP1 (t1,288)

Hero's M: 40.28

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 7

, 7

UTG calls t40, Hero raises t140, 6 folds, UTG calls t100

flop you could check back, but if you do decide to CB, i would go a bit smaller, seems like too much money going in with 3rd pair
i dont see the reason for betting turn
river its pretty hard for villain to come up with bluffs, he would have to turn 1 pair hands into bluffs, which doesnt happen too often in my experience
if you can rule out him donking around with 2 pair and still want to bluffcatch this spot, you are better off foldng 77 and waiting for hands like QdQx
