Re: SSHE p.148: Continuing with marginal hands

If I think unimproved sevens might be good, I'm stuck calling a reraise, calling the turn, and calling the river,

You most certainly are NOT stuck calling all of these later streets (depending on the subsequent action).
And I agree with the others about the likelihood of getting 3-bet. This was the first thing that stodd out to me about your post also.....you really shouldn't be too afraid of getting 3-bet here.
If a club or T comes and it gets bet and raised then you can strongly consider getting out.
The point is to not be OVERLY afraid of losing and to realistically assess the chances that your hand may actually be best.
By 'realistic' this might be synonymous with 'optimistic' for weak-tight players who typically assume that someone out there must have a higher pair than what you have.
If YOU are getting aggressive and taking control of most of the hands you think you can win then your opponents will be even less likely to want to 3-bet you.
