Tough spot with 77 approaching the money bubble

Villain is new to table so no reads. Do we stack off here or can we find a fold? Is just calling terrible given stack sizes?

I think calling will force him to shove any turn, at this point its either shove or fold. I think you need to rely on any reads you have on villain, but I would say just shove it in as this may be your best chance to double up and there is already a decent amount in the pot.

I doubt he hit a set on that flop, so the only thing I can think is higher pair or over cards.

I think I find a fold here.

A call puts a significant portion of the chips in so thats out.

Even if he's leading a flush draw here it's likely 2 overs in which case you're behind.

That said, I dont think there's much here that you beat long term that calls PF.
