Assuming he cbets this board with a very high frequency you are actually still ahead of his range but you will very rarely have a legitimate hand to raise here for value. So you should also have a small bluffing range and a relatively large x/c range (not sure about leading on those boards). I think your hand is a pretty good exemple for "way to strong to bluff and give up if played back at" and "too weak to raise for value". I would certainly call with your hand and only bluff very rarely with sth. weaker like a single 7.

I'd never check the flop behind. We are at the top of our range, can get value from a lot worse and don't have a tough time when getting raised. Especially with so many cards bringing a possible straight on the turn that we won't have I think giving a free card is significantly less profitable than just betting.

Hey,
excited to join the forum. Awesome content so far. I really appreciate that Phil and some other site pros put in so much time to take part here.
About the hand:
We have only close to 50% vs a reasonable raise/call/get it in range otf. Given that we have position with an spr of about 4 and many good turns with our bdfd's I think a bet/call is the only way to go.
On the turn we certainly get good enough immediate pot odds to call another time so a fold is out of the question. So is a raise in my mind since the 7 is obv the best card for BB's semibluffing range on the flop and now that he bets the turn straights make up a huge part of his range. Apart from that I think we are very likely to make fewer mistakes than our opponent an the river due to position and our range being wider than his ("bad visibility"? not sure how to use that term yet).
On the river his range should contain few bluffs and his sizing is in line with his strong/polarized range. Even if he got here with sth. like J974 I don't think he would vbet it or turn it into a bluff since Hero should still have a decent amount of slowplayed nuts in his range. I think a fold is correct otr.
