Re: Playing Pocket 7\'s from middle position

I think you played it fine. Calling down after the turn raise is fine since Villian is essentially unknown. You could've thought about bet/calling the river as an alternate to checking.

Out of curiosity, is there any reason to prefer this line over reraising the turn and calling down a cap? Since we lose three more bets either way, the only thing I could think of was that we may not want to bet an A or T river since those cards are very likely to kill us.
I agree that an overset is not impossible (and something we have to suspect if Villain doesn't slow down), but I think people who limp "big" hands like AA and TT also tend to limp AKs and then go nuts if they hit the flop at all.
