Arito : It genereally accepted that most of the time your pair of sevens is not the best hand. You are almost exactly even money against AA, KK, TPTK or QQ. In fact the only hand that the preflop can have that has you in trouble is top set, which is relatively unlikely. The crux of this hand is whether or not your opponent will fold his overpair, either before or after you hit your flush / 2pair / trips.

Well... yes obviously. But the point I was trying to make but failed in was that if he continues this hand by simply calling it, it will be hard for him to either continue after the turn if a blank comes or get value from a flush if he hits that. At 200NL (unlike 25NL and 50NL) players will generally slow down when a third of a flush turns or if it pairs the board (if they don't have it obviously).

So I think by reraising hard on the flop he can:

1. Take the pot there
2. Indicate strength (TP) and thus get paid off on a flush or trips later
3. Get information on what villain is holding.

Calling allows you to get away from the hand pretty easily but I think there is a decent chance that villain doesn't even have anything but is simply c-betting.
