Yeah honestly I don't get this post, and I try to not be naive when respected players post hands like this, but I don't see how you can make a reasonable case for anything but shoving. 77/88 alone have to make up a lot of his range, let alone some Jx hands he could have that he thinks are the nuts, specifically AJ. He could have turned his gutshot with a flopped flush draw.

Just did this on pokerstove, which is including no possibilites of a straight or trips, just boats.
