** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to HERO [ 7s 5s ]
PlayerA folds.
HERO is all-In [900]
PlayerC has $820 after posting. Will he pass up his pot odds here?
If I am PlayerC, should I call with any two? EDIT: If not, what range should I call with?

If you are playerC, you call with any 2, and it's really not a close decision.
Folding this is a very good idea, I think.
If you were SB and Player C was BB, you should push, and he should call.
Id probably fold this though given your situation.

I agree it's not a close call from the bb.
Whether you should push depends on his level of fishyness. Is he a small fish, medium rare, well done, with or without tender meat etc. Only if he really is a beautiful specimen do I like your push, in my experience donks will fold here maybe twice out of 5.

Meh, I may underestimate donks, but I really doubt they fold 40% of the time.
I agree with Myst. Unless your opponent is the worst player in the world and you have seen him fold a hand in this spot before, do not push.
Folding this and waiting another 2 hands for either other small guy to bust or to pick up a hand worth pushing (which isn't much, but 75s isn't it), should be a very good idea.

Yeah, I'd want something a little better than 57s. Like J3o, for instance.

To add to that, the possibility of the BB calling with a Ax, KT+ hand from an SB push is VERY VERY real, especially at the limits you are playing at. Thats why I try to push less as the blinds get past 200/400.
