Default $2/$5 Live Tough spot in weird hand

Capped buy in Live game - Cap is $200.
Stacks of interest
BB = $120
Hero = $200
Button = $350


Let me set the stage. I missed my blinds, so I post missed blinds in from the c/o in a 10 player game. The button who is one of the best players in the room gets dealt a hand, but momentarily left the table. It is folded to me I check with my 67o. The button is somewhat rushing back to his seat limps blind, basically not wanting to hold the game up. Blinds both call. The solid button player doesn't realize that I posted, he thinks I limped.

Flop 7710r
SB checks, BB leads out $20, I call flat call, button calls, SB folds. I am pretty sure the BB has a 10 from his body language and I don't think he leads out with a 7. Button's range at this point are any 7, overpair, A10 outside chance of a draw but I doubt it. At least 50% chance he has a 7.
Turn is an A.
BB goes all in for $100, at this point I am pretty confident that he has A10, but I am worried about the button. If I call or push he will lay down over pair or draw, and most likely a weak 7. If I push he may lay down J7, Q7, and maybe even K7, as this player respects my play and knows that I have hand. The other option is obviously to fold.

What do you do?
Fold, Call or Push?

I would push the turn. I don't understand how it's at least 50% likely he has the last 7 in the deck. It's much more likely that the villain has a pocket pair or a 10.

In my opinion, this isn't a tough decision. Is it possible you're seeing monsters (no offense intended)?

I don't see how you have any option but pushing here, especially with 40BB.

This player is tight, when he flat calls there is a good chance he has a 7, I have played hundreds of hands against him, he is a solid player. He and I never clash unless we both strong hands. You may be right though 50% may be a high estimate.

He might fold J7, Q7 and K7

If they're in there with these hands, and no straight or flush is possible, there's NO WAY they're laying them down with a 40BB stack

this player might

Edit: We know each other well, I can assure you he is worried about A7, if I push after an all in, he knows I have a 7. He also knows that I probably put him on a 7, so the call is not as automatic you might think with those hands. Against an unknown I would agree with you.

Why are you playing 2/5 with a 200 max?

Because it is a soft game and it is the only NL game at the casino, and it's not like you can't build your stacks to over 40 BB's.

I definitely push this. I figure most of the time you're taking the $175 in the pot without getting into a fight with the button.

So basically, you have the BB crushed and by pushing all-in you can probably get the button to fold even if he has you beat.

Exactly why woulden't you push here? I see zero reasons to do anything but push.
