Trying to get people to fold TP or better is not profitable.

so if your in villians shoes, playing against someone who hasnt played a hand , your gonna felt with 77 just because its an over pair? i think i have a good amount of FE here.

You have some fold equity and your play isn't bad, but you also have 10 outs against a hand like 77-TT. I'm just saying you are risking alot in a rather small pot in a hand were you are likely to be called.

Seems like spewy fancy play, which is a problem I am slowly getting over. I think your best play here is a fold to his raise, but if you dont win with cbets often vs this guy, why not check/call the flop and then bet any overcard on the turn.

You think wrong.

it's 25NL - YOU CANNOT MAKE PEOPLE FOLD TPTK OR OVERPAIRS - trying is a waste of time.

Whether you or I would fold 77 here is irrelevant - 95+% of 25NL players will take 77 here to the felt.

yeah couldn't aggree more, it's just really not worth it. FE shouldn't be a big part of your game at 25 I learnt this the hard way by burning lots of cash when i first started playing. Just chill and wait for a better spot when you've got a hand.

As said 0 fold equity and this level people will showdown with nearly anyover pair as matrix so sustinctly put it.
