Bah, converter broken, as usual

77 in middle, later middle limps, SB and BB limp, flop 999, checked to hero.

PF is OK IMO, flop is an easy bet. Get called down by A high.

how much, just standard pot?

I dont need that much against overcards do I?

yeah $1 is good. you're likely ahead, you want to protect your hand, but you don't want to bloat the pot too much, as 25 cards in the deck are not your friend.
