It all looks fine to me.

I think the preflop call is ok. You've got to figure the blinds and the poster are going to come along.

Flop fine, ram & jam 4tw (for the win, sorry it's my new favorite chat phrase /images/graemlins/crazy.gif )

Turn, good. Check-raise is iffy since everyone only called your flop 3-bet.

River, fine. Looks like JJ. Hopefully it's AA who screwed up the courage for one last bet. Anyone 3-bet the river?

yeah you're probably right about the turn. i figured button would bet if checked to, but i didn't want to give free cards to overpairs and i didn't want to get 3-bet either by QQ (not that i should be afraid of QQ yet).

I won't play the 77 for a raise when I make the assumption that I will be up against only one or two players. However, once I flop the set, I play just as you did until the end. I still pop'em back on the river. AA, KK, AKs hearts and bluffs the river, AQ, KQs, QJs are all possible from an aggressive button at a low limit.
