Re: 77 on Ace High Board
 

Sure there is, and I'd bet here too. You'll clear off a lot of overcards that are outs against your hand, and at this point it's very unlikely that someone has an A. One of the blinds could have had one and checked the flop but they wouldn't check the turn too, and I doubt either of the MP guys would have checked the flop with an A. With this board, and the number of people in the hand, I think it's very unlikely that someone is slowplaying something big. All of this adds up to it being a good spot to toss out a 1/2 pot bet.
