    what is your stack size, it's missing from the hh information and provides one of the main keys as to whether you can consider calling with a hand such as this.

    If you have 56k like it says in your OP, then I ship it and smile when I see a 7 :)

    oh didn't see that, from 7bb it's an allin or fold you cant call.


    obv you can call if calling is AI, i'd just fold and look for shoves spots asap.

    i did fold and pushed all-in with 66 a few hands later,which i thought to be the better play as i'm giving myself 2 chances of winning,rather than calling with 77 and only having the one chance to win hand.
    as it happend i got called by A8 and opponent hit 8 on river.

    You wouldn't be calling in this spot, you'd be shoving. Granted they've min-raised so your shove is only an additional 5xBB but imo you'll still get some folds unless they're a complete nit and only opening a very tight range.

    Even if you get called by 1, then there's 16,000 worth of dead money in the pot from the one that folds

    yeah,slight mis-read on my part.
    think once it's been min-raised they won't be folding for my 5bb all-in tbh,so still think i found a better spot shoving with my 66.
    guess it's all about opinions ...and timing.
