Re: UTG with 77
 

Pf limp is fine, though I prefer to raise, since 77 has some showdown value UI if you can narrow the field.

Flop bet is good, turn looks like a b/f. On the river, I check behind UI.

Re: UTG with 77
 

I'd b/f this turn and check behind on most rivers.

bet and fold to a checkraise. Check behind most rivers.

Shouldn't we be more curious how the table was playing post flop before limping 77 UTG. Granted, a loose passive pre-flop table gives us more wiggle room to limp middleish pp early but don't we need at least a moderately aggressive crowd to give us the implied odds we need to justify limping in the first place?.
Passive post flop players are terrific when we play SC and need to draw.
As to the OP, firing at the flop and getting two folds was fine. I fire the turn and fold to a CR. However, if all 4 call the flop, I'm going to be very reluctant to put anymore in the pot UI on the turn.

The villain in this hand limps every hand, and is loose passive postflop. He has not raised once so far.

This read makes it a clear b/f IMO.

I think you should be looking at 10:1 in this spot. Will your 1 SB preflop investment win 10 if you hit your set? If you have a 5-way pot, then you only need to win 6 SB postflop on average to profit. That's just a tiny bit more action than being called down.
