Default What to do with 77 UTG?

B&M casino. 2/2 NL $100 max buyin.

I have 77 and $44. Minraise to $4 UTG (probably bad, I know. I limp 80% of the time here).

Two MP callers that have me covered. Button raises to $15 and has me covered. SB pushes allin for $23. Button is unknown (but assume typical). SB is fairly solid.

With 77 do I call, push, or fold?

you could shove hoping to isolate against the SB...but I'd probably fold.

The UTG minraise is IMO the least optimal play with that hand. You are building a pot OOP. You want to flop a set in a multiway pot, not raise to thin the field. I know the value of mixing up your play, but at a full table I think I limp 77 UTG 100% of the time.

Fold the first time it gets to you.

Thanks for the responses. Makes a man feel good (I folded).

Here's what happened... Been running very bad the last 2 sessions. Got stacked 3 times when I was 90% on the flop. So I make this fold and a 7 flopped. SB had ATo which I'm pretty sure is at the bottom of his range there. I was so tilted that I started to leave the table and didn't see what the button had.

Couldn't help mentioning I had 77 and the guy next to me who I had become friendly with was shocked - "How could you fold that?!"

So mentally I've been pretty confused about this one.
