If you are in the 3rd seat to the right of the button, there is a 16% chance that at least one of the remaining players has an overpair to your 7s.

If you limp and everyone folds to the BB who checks with his Q8o, there is a 32.4% chance that he'll flop a pair.

It's your decision.

Probably you wanted to say that one of remaining players will have an overcard to sevens.

Anyways, how did you figure out that 16 percent?

I'm not a huge PLHE player, but generally I'm open raising if I'm entering a pot. From there, especially with low PP I'm playing off of reads.
