I don't really like this line at all. What are your reasons for using a stop and go here? You have plenty of stack to make him fold preflop, if you want. If you're concerned that the UTG minraise is monstrous, you're not going to move him off it on this board with your call/overbet line, and I think against many opponents you're lucky to even knock them off a J here, if they happen to have one. If it's garbage, this line doesn't extract more from him, but with 77 you can't be wild about trying to "trap" him here and draw out a lot of bets. I don't see what pushing on the flop accomplishes that betting 600 doesn't, and I prefer reraising PF to either 900 or 1000 to both of them.

Why not establish your hand preflop. Or better yet if u want to use a stop and go 1000 bet would still work just fine. (I still wouldnt though)

My line is this:
Call flop bet. Check raise
