Live hand, shove, fold, or flat preflop?

So normally it seems these spots come up where there are TWO clear options, and one of the two is better. But this hand I can see an argument for all of the options...sorta.

So it's a live game (1/3) and there is a 6 dollar straddle on the button, we limp in MP with 77 ahead of a couple other limpers. Guy directly to my left jams all in for 130. His range in this spot is fairly wide. I have seen him take this line with 55 as well as AQ, but never with AA or KK. A loose bad player (who initially limped in) thinks and thinks and finally just calls. He is not capable of hollywooding aces in this spot; he also has a hand that he didn't want to open raise with. He has 150 left after the call, and so do I.

Do you go all in and build a side pot in case your hand loses to initial raiser? Fold and wait for a lower volatility spot? Flat and stop and go shove any non a or k flop?

thanks!
