good that you called, but why is 77 the only set he can have?

Cause he'll limp behind the limper with 22/33 almost always.

He could have 999.

I'd prolly fold ~80% and call the other ~20%. You're only beating a complete bluff which as others have said, seems unlikely/crazy spewy based on you calling his flop c/r.

Looks like he was just willing to get cute to try and stack a one pair hand, just like yours.

I get his line is really weird, but it is lot more likely he is getting tricky with AA than making some elaborate bluff.
I would usually fold the flop.
And spite call the turn.

I think he has AA KK 77 here a huge huge part of the time. Yea his line is weird, but at the same time it might confuse someone into stacking off with 88 or something.

fold flop, this hand gets so easily dominated on the later streets even if you think you are good now that I hate calling.

hi bond,

i am not a player on this level, but i have watched pearljammer's video on pxf and he stridently advocates a few things:

1...extremely tight play early, with a very tight raising range with small blinds

2...pot control

if he's raising a limper 5x on level 1 and cr-ing the flop, he probably doesn't have a whiffed AQo

QQ+ here.....

I really don't think he's messing around this early, in a multiway pot. I think he has you beat close to 100% of the time.

Heart!

I check flop.

I also like to mix up checking/betting in PJs spot with overpair/set/overcard type hands in 5-way pots so his play doesn't seem too goofy to me.
