SB: $1.03 (51.5 bb)
BB: $7.09 (354.5 bb)
UTG: $4.92 (246 bb)
MP: $6.51 (325.5 bb)
Hero (CO): $5 (250 bb)
BTN: $2.29 (114.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J 9 7 J
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.07, BTN calls $0.07, SB folds, BB calls $0.05

Flop: ($0.22) 7 3 J (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.15, BTN folds, BB calls $0.15

Turn: ($0.52) A (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.45, BB raises to $1.04, Hero raises to $3.62, BB raises to $6.87 and is all-in, Hero calls $1.16 and is all-in

River: ($10.08) 5 (2 players, 2 are all-in)

Results: $10.08 pot ($0.30 rake)
Final Board: 7 3 J A 5
BB showed A A 9 7 and won $9.78 ($4.78 net)
Hero showed J 9 7 J and lost (-$5 net)

So my only problem with this hand is I don't think a normal player would ever play like this with like A7 or something.

Am I better off just calling his raise on turn and river?

I think if I call his raise I leave some A+pair combos in his range, however by raising I think I am isolating my self against sets only (of which most of them have to be top set because of his passive flop line).

You also have a 7 in your hand, which blocks a set of sevens so this heavily weights your opponents hand towards AA. However with that said, I still don't think you should fold the turn, it's such a small raise you would have to have a very specific read on your opponent that he is a rock to make a fold here.

I likely call his checkraise on the turn and see what develops on the river. If a scare card hits and villain checks, I likely check behind as I have showdown value and villain is either checkraising the turn with a draw that just hit, or a set of aces that he wont fold to a bluff.
