Really you just need to fold 77 against raise. There are exceptions, like a loose game, you are in late position, there was a raiser and 3 cold-callers, then you are getting good pot odds to play for a set + position to extract the maximum. Also, you may raise to isolate a maniac or a super poor player in a game that is otherwise tight. But really, you limp with these hands in EP in games where this a good chance you'll see a flop cheap with 4-7 players. In other words, it fares best in loose passive games. Loose agressive might be okay, as long as you'll get plenty of action (implied odds) when you make a big hand.

I thought it was almost always correct to call a raise when it is only one more bet back to you. I supose with 77 you could do an easy fold if it is raised right after you and no one else stays in.
