I'm not folding here.

Best bet is to call and see what develops on the turn. He can easily have 88/77/44/55 or A6h, who knows, it's first level! I think button reraises with TT and up since you raised from CO, but some ppl don't so need to keep that in mind. I don't see him betting any of those hands if a big card comes on the turn. If he does then you can get away. If a baby comes then I would c/c again, depending on the size of the bet of course.

I'm pretty sure 3 betting all in would be pointless.

77/88 will often wise up and fold, no better hand folds.

To good a board to fold.

So call.

Whats your plan for the turn? A check on the turn will induce a bet and possible a shove. We can call this and bet the turn again and fold to a raise.

Weeeeee, donktastic!

I'm not even joking that much. The guy is rarely going to fold 88 to a minreraise, people do weird [censored] vs. minraises when they were bluffing so you may induce a bluff, and you aren't really happy about a lot of turn cards/action combos.

If you call flop, you're basically praying turn goes check/check.
