So here's the thing about these types of hands 77-10s, I know what I did here isn't really the best way to play the hand, but my question is, is it just better to raise it yourself, knowing the types of players behind you, or is it better to raise knowing the SS behind you is gonna shove and thus giving you more credit to RRAI?

I ask because had I raised 2.5-3x myself the player left to act after me was calling and I also knew the SS was still shoving, but then the problem was that because I raised and the station behind called me and the SS shoved (Even if I shoved I believe 75% that these types of players don't like to fold once they've invested in the hand)..So I'm just curious what's your Idea of my play for 1, and what would you have done differently or is it just over all better to do this...Not to mention I really didn't want to shove OTT A.I against the Big stack (Yet I had no choice but to shove in this case because A) He limps also B) because I hate flatting with 7s and letting him in for cheap), but by him limping Behind I got to know that he's weak (I could be mistaken but that's how I perceived it as...So what do you all say
