I bet flop. As played, bet more on turn, like 80.

limping from CO means the guy is weak.. good flop to lead... like 125

Re: ($27) Pocket 77 ## Raise Preflop?
 

I bet like 80-90 on flop after his PF limp.

You don't have to lead the flop here OOP. Bet more on the turn though.

Re: ($27) Pocket 77 ## Raise Preflop?
 

Betting flop OOP in this situation is OK, but not a must. CO limp is a big range of hands, including ace/king rag. I think if they've got ace rag paired, they're going to pay you off in spots like this, so the flop bet is OK, but not always great because A9/K9 and similar hands becomes a possibility, although not very likely. I definitely do bet the turn, preferably 90-100. A bet of 50 is 'meh', but I think it shows a bit of weakness that could be exploited by a reraise or a raise/bet on the river to get you out of the pot.
