77 Q-hi board, tough river decision

[BuddahShark]

PP 5+1 R+A multitable tourney, 182 players left, 120 cash. No reads on villain, he had just been moved recently. Any advice on my preflop and postflop play please! Sorry for the format...

PS- is there something wrong with bisonbison? I havent been able to use it for the past few days.

Should hero call or is this an easy laydown?

A minraise late in the tourney usually equals trouble. If you are going to call that PF, and call the flop bet, you have to make a bet on the turn. You've obviously put him a big ace or broadway, so you need to push him off on the flop or turn.

In other words, calling preflop isn't good unless you think that the raiser has two overcards. That's 1/13th of your stack right there, and you don't know if you have odds or not to play for set value. I like the flop call, but you need to bet the turn.

On the river I think it's a laydown. You are ahead of A-K, A-J and that's about all I can see.
