BTN: $161.94
SB: $206.05
BB: $100.00
UTG: $43.63
UTG+1: $104.26

CO: $103.30

SB posts SB $0.50, BB posts BB $1.00

Pre Flop: (pot: $1.50) Hero has 7♥ 7♦

fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $2.87, fold, fold, SB raises to $9.00, fold, Hero calls $6.13

sb is a reg, stats at time of hand:

Spoiler

does not seem to be out of line.
given the low sample we don't have much of a clue how the other plays, hero probably has reasonable image also

preflop i figure that i'm getting a fair price in position.

Flop: ($19.00, 2 players) 6♠ 2♣ T♣
SB bets $11.24, Hero calls $11.24
his range seems pretty strong, but this is not a flop that i want to be folding... but maybe i could

Turn: ($41.48, 2 players) K♦
SB checks, Hero...?
imo this check seems to scream "I HAVE SD VALUE" since this is a card that his draws and random broadway hands would barrel like 75%+ of the time.

i think that we are behind pretty much all the time if we check it to showdown.
so... what about firing turn and bombing river to try to get him to fold everything QQ-?
what i fear is that he could decide to check some Kx or that he could decide to hero me when fd miss the river, but he doesn't really seem like the type...
i don't really know what my perceived range looks like but i don't think that it's perceived as capped.

the other option is to bet once and give up. that looks pretty awful because there are about 0 worse hands that call (actually more like "there are about 0 worse hands in his range now") and 0 better hands that fold unless i pot it or something, but that would not be very easy to balance

Preflop is probably a slightly +EV call given his sizing is somewhat small and stacks are slightly deep.

On the flop I don't think you can continue. His 3bet numbers are low, your equity against his range on this flop is very poor. In addition, play on future streets will be terrible for you, as you can get valuebet/bluffed but can almost never valuebet or bluff yourself.

On the turn I agree with your assessment. He is usually given up or has a medium strength hand and is rarely slowplaying. 77 is a hand with low showdown value, so turning it into a bluff is reasonable. But do you represent enough value hands? I think you have 66 and TT for sure. I would assume you also have AK in your range. Maybe KQ:club::club: or KQ:spade::spade:. What other bluff hands do you have? AQ, maybe AJ. 77 is one of the worst hands you have actually. So I think starting a bluff on the turn with 77 is good.

You shouldn't give up on many rivers after betting turn, no. Maybe give up when a T hits which cuts your value range but doesn't hit any of your bluffs. Other than that, probably jam all rivers.
