1/2, $500 eff: Combo draw facing turn xr from aggro pro on paired board

1/2, $500 eff: Combo draw facing turn xr from aggro pro on paired board

1/2 live — $500 effective

EP limper, Hero raises to $15 in MP with 98 (too loose?)

BTN calls, BB (aggro pro) calls, UTG calls

Flop ($60): A️ 7 7
Checks around

Turn ($60): 5
BB checks, UTG leads for $30
Hero calls, BTN folds, BB check-raises to $125, UTG folds

Hero? ($355 behind, pot is now $245, $95 to call)

I’m holding 98 so I have a non-nut flush draw, and some straight outs. The BB is a very aggro reg capable of applying pressure with air or semi-bluffs attacking capped ranges. That said, there’s also a decent chance he has a better heart draw or something like A7, 75s, or even 77 where I could be drawing dead.

Couple things on my mind:

• My flush might not even be live if he has bigger hearts

• No guarantee I realize full equity unless I jam

• But jamming seems overplayed unless I think he’s full of it

Is this a call getting 2.6:1? Or just a disciplined fold since my draw might be dirty?

Also - is flop a cbet 4 way?

First I thought this was a simple fold to the checkraise, but now I'm thinking a jam might actually be best. Unless he has 55, the two remaining combos of A7s, or the very unlikely AA/77, you have lots of outs. In fact, if he has a better flush draw, it means that your pair outs are good.
