I can't put him on a 7. He's got around $4 behind... set him all in.

Raise it and fold if he re-raises. He could very easily be trying it on here since he prolly thinks you have 2 overcards that missed the flop and it's flop for the blinds making a bluff convincing. The size of his bet says "I want to take this down now" which is not what a set or better is thinking.

I play these games at Stars and this is what I have found to work.
In this situation I would reraise on the flop a bit more than min, something like 2.2.
Reraising that little bit more than the minimum seems to scare your average villain at these stakes. It’s not like he's calling another $1 he calling $1.2, it makes him think twice about going into calling Station mode.
I would say a reraise like this would get a call if only he has the 7 or 55.
If he has JJ or near I think it is a good chance he calls a min reraise, and you’re lost. That little extra usually makes it unlikely that he will call with second pair.

Reraise. Folding is too weak. On a paired board headsup, first person to bet usually wins, unless the other person really has a hand. He can only call if he has a 7,5 or pp, other than that, you have him beat.

Call. AI on a non-heart turn. Pushing the flop lets hands like 88 off the hook. Hands that beat you and combo draws aren't going anywhere and you aren't going to get one to fold. Might as well keep the hands that you beat in the game and offer them the opportunity to stack off on the turn.

In fact, you have him beat if he has the 5 too. Oh and about three-quarters of the possible pocket pairs also.
