3-betting and folding to a cap would be really sexy here IMO. If the pot were HU OTOH I'd be more tempted to just call down, but with the other monkey in there I'd like to extract as much value as possible if still ahead.

it would look to me like your blind stealing
so i would raise the trun to because he probably got a 7, but reresenting the 9

i would even lead the river bet, he either just calls or folds at that point

i would like a 3 bet fold to a cap. as Hobbs said, you can extract value from horribl MP this way. a boat or 9 will cap and you can safely fold.

I guess that I am very weak tight. For me to continue, I have to put MP1 on a draw that he is willing to pay 2 BB for AND UTG as making a play with one but not both 7's.

HU I call down, I never understand the raise/fold line as it costs you the same 2 bets and you don't get a showdown. With the monkey in the middle, I fold
