I said I was going to start posting again a few days ago... well, here goes
I currently don't use stats, and have to make do with Universal Replayer's hand exports - sorry if the format looks weird

Villain is a reg and makes solid impression, I haven't caught him doing anything weird

Preflop is standard I think. On the flop, I honestly have no idea what to do. I think I have to bet, as there are multiple weaker pocket pairs which will call. After the raise, can I find a fold? I thought about hands villain could've called a raise and a 3-bet pre-flop, and it seems like pocket pairs are the most likely, but something like AQ-AT is not impossible. His check/raise smells like a set, but are sets his only possible holdings? He also doesn't necessarily defend against a squeeze with 44 and 22, leaving 77 as the only possible set. Could he be check/raising overpairs and flush draws here?

Also, if I do want to continue, is there any reason to call his raise rather than shove right here?

Thanks!

Pre flop is ok.

On the flop I would bet bigger multiway.
Villain could be raising 88-JJ (higher pockets he would have played differently pre flop), some draws and sets (you are right that he necessarily doesn't have 22,44).
Imo folding with our overpair is not good and if you just call you leave less than 1/2 pot bet behind so shove seems reasonable.
Well played.

Preflop is ok.
On flop board is low so we do not have to make it too big. 1/2 is ok.
After the raise it is fine. He can have Overpairs too.
