** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to Hero [ 7d, 7c ]

Hero raises (200) to 200

folds to the BB who raises (350) to 450
Hero raises (505) to 705 all-in.

BB calls (255)

As you can see I am small stack at table w/ two big stacks and 4 close ones, though I am smallest. Blinds are 50/100 and haven't seen a hand (all day actually).

I would move allin preflop with only 7x the BB.

You're saying instead of my initial raise, just move in immediately? I agree.

Yup, that's what he's saying, and yeah, that's the right play.

Yep, your first action should be a push. With 77 and that stack, you'd rather have the blinds without a fight. A coin-flip isn't bad here, but if you can take the blinds without a fight, all is well.

That play forces you to accept a coin-flip as a best case.
