I would like to know the most experienced, how should I get into a situation like this? I like to limp, with a pair of 7 being a weak hand.
Limp or Raise?

three of a kind, now it has improved. Still with Three of a Kind, I play cautiously, just as I am with a pair of 7, someone can have pair of A or J.

Opening is an option, but at this stage, you're getting called and you're just bloating the pot with an open. And you're in weird spot if you get 3bet.

I think either is fine but I lean more towards limp/calling small raise.

No need to play cautiously with a set. Set over set is super rare and a cooler if it happens. If there is no raise pre, it's unlikely you're seeing anyone with AA or JJ.

You have a monster of a hand. Build a big pot and get value from AJ, Ax, and a bunch of drawing hands.

with small pockets like these 77s it's a good idea just to limp, to watch the flop very cheap. if hitting the set on the flop, like here, I would check to let your opponent with an AX make a bet and than call.
On turn I would check again and wait for the raise to rereaise. When you get reraised be aware of your opponent having a street, with pocket 8T, which is not unlikely, because of your preflop limping
On river I would bet and when it comes to reraise you have to choose if you give your opponent the street or a higher set. I think in most situations, you're winning with hitting the set, and such a board

I believe that pairs with a mild limp to see a flop well, and there according to circumstances.

This week I went through a similar situation. I was on pocket nine and on the flop came Q93. Since I had a low stack, I went to the top and finally got all in. Did not expect that my opponent had QQ in hand. It was disappointing.

i prefer raising to thin the herd a little

less people in the pot can make range guessing easier on later streets

To pay an all in you must observe the tournament phase, your need to risk, the characteristics of the player, the player all in range of this position, characteristics of the players who still talk after you and their respective stacks. I usually check this before venturing, and remember that even with a couple of Aces the win is not guaranteed.

I also prefer to give Raise, for me it's a much safer move.

there is a simple 4-bet solution if you hit the flop

If you get scared to put money in the pot you won't get value

I think a raise there for 100 will be better...this way you make bb or sb to fold from A K with low kicker...If you get 3 bet by UTG you can fold easly beacouse he probably tried to trap...if 3 bet from blinds you can consider a call/fold depends on your reads...if you get called you should C-bet on almost any flop...if you hit trips you are in good position..aswell if you don't hit but is an A on flop you may represent it since you are the aggressor...if you get raised you can easly fold your 2nd/3rd pair.That's how I see this hand

Aswell I think limp is a bad decision....you don't hit a set to often...on a long run this play is -Ev ...Considering that there are 4 players in the pot 75% of time atleast one of them have a higher card with a bad kicker that will hit the flop and you let him see that flop for nothing

I'm my opinion (I might be wrong), you're I the right position to raise pre-flop that when the flop does come down and it doesn't connect you're not throwing away more chips should someone after you re-raise, although if everyone else limped in I doubt they would have had higher pockets. After hitting the set I would raise, anyone that hits a higher pair or two pair will stay in. After that with turn and river I'd play depending on the cards that come out and any draws

I would not limp, well, maybe I would start limping if I had a hand range as wide as yours.

limping on the button is a bad idea ,your giving away any advantage you have with position-no matter what the hand is-you also have a decent hand to raise with

All right, bro, I think the same way. We can not give opponents a chance and increase the bet of that position, without a doubt is the best move.

I like to limp with low pairs if I hit a trip on the flop I 2bet if they re raise I like to call most the time they only have top pair.

limping with 7's on BUTTON is a bit weak preflop, I'd make a raise to 3BB and fold if I'm reraised unless the reraised is easy read post flop.

Then when a flop like that hits me, I will definitely raise 1BB if no one has raised by my turn. If they have, I can shove or do whatever. I never fold that hand ever Flop was rainbow (means no 2 of same suit) so flush is nothing to fear at that point. You are in such good position and hand... you need aggression.

I do not like cleaning those medium pairs that most times the SB or some players would limp with Kx or Qx just to see the flop, and most of the time it hits.
