I don't think it makes much sense for him to play a high pocket pair like this, unless he anticipates your assuming that he is pushing with a draw. I'd guess at worst you're up against overs and a flush draw, which you are even money with (15 outs twice, even money yes?). If that's the case you're getting the right price to call.

er... what are you doing:
a) raising with 7's preflop
b) calling a reraise with 7's preflop?

Is this some kind of 55's magic I don't know about?

Against a slightly LAG player, I call almost immediately. Against a typical player, I don't know.

In the 55's, your stack is bigger, and you need to push smaller edges. Calling the reraise is easy considering your huge pot odds.
