Re: 77 against a steal

This means that you should be more inclined to 3-bet 66-88 vs non SD bound players and call it vs SD bound players.

I agree here. Showdown boundness is the most determining factor here IMO. In fact, if the stealer is weak (folds too often after the flop) and has a wide enough range so he can have many hands without an ace, then you should probably 3-bet any hand you want to play (especially hands without an ace like 77, QJs etc). Then if the flop comes with an ace (more chance if you don't have one), you will be able to take the pot there frequently.
If my opponent isn't weak, then I prefer to call an check-raise most non Axx flops (and some Axx flops too).
In this specific hand, I think you are toast most of the time (given his AF) and are drawing to 2 outs only. I would probably still call to see if I can spike a 7 or a 9.
