Trying to fire 3 barrels on this board just doesn't seem profitable.

C/B/B makes no sense to me in this spot. If the villain has 77 he isn't folding to c/b/b that often imo. Seems like you're only getting hands that would've folded anyways to fold to c/b/b, while giving them a chance to draw to a callable hand or bluff you off on the turn.
Since you're UTG, betting this flop is repping the entirety of your range, while checking it is repping exactly what you have. I feel it's more likely he'll see c/b/b for exactly what it is in this spot rather than you getting tricky with a hand.
