I've found alot of success at the lower level playing
high pocket pairs aggressive...Generally the most I lose is $20-$30 with the smaller buy-ins.

This a strange way to describe your "success" at a level.

As for the hand, raise more PF. If you want more action, make more raises and people will start to call with inferior hands. Don't change your raising standards by your holdings (note: this obviously doesn't apply for re-raising). He was likely going to call anyways with 77, and the hand was going to play out the way it did regardless. I would probably end up playing it the same way, as I think folding for his turn raise would be weak-tight. However, the one thing you did not address is if he ever raised with draws, or if he always has the goods when he raises. Lots of players like him are easy to read because they call with mediocre hands, but they only raise when they hit the board hard. This is something to pay attention to, especially with the deeper stacks. Now you know, a raise from this guy means the real deal.
