Stars $22, open raise 77 in LP

I had just snapped off a river bluff to double up maybe 10 hands ago. The two hands, prior to the one in this post, I open rose to 150 (25/50 level) and 300 (50/100 level) to take down the blinds. So I felt someone might try to come after me.

Comments on my choice to play 77 are welcome too.

Ummmm...this sucks.

I always seem to find a way to lose at least a little chunk of my stack along the way with 66-TT.

I'd really like to see some other posters comment on the PF play. It seems standard to me, but how often are others limping/folding here?

If you're feeling frisky, throw out 350 on the flop, as villain can't conceivably continue with without a club/pair. If you get called, I'd probably shut it down on the turn. Being OOP really hurts here.
