Your flop lead looks like total air. His call looks like total air or a draw. The draw got there and your OOP, so probably best just to fold and play the next hand with position now in your favor.

This is a pretty easy shove preflop because as you can see the flop never comes that great for 77 and a shove is totally unexploitable.

I don't bet this flop. If he checks to the turn I sometimes c/c one street because villians will bluff at a dry board. But i'm probably not betting out here.

Raise preflop either shove or make it enough so you can shove any flop except when you flop a set.

Are you kidding? Shove preflop, you'll prolly get called by ATC.

400 or shoving pre is fine. I like 400 pre and shoving flop (go and go)
