I've got a decent hand, what with only pocket overpairs, the last 3, and pocket 77 beating me, but then again, what other hands would he raise the river with? He might be getting stupid with a 7 or 88-TT but more likely he'd flat with those, yes?

Call or Fold?

 all-in, even tho you're probably splitting. Maybe if he's terrible he'd play a flush like this tho.

Quit yer halfstacking if you've got problems getting it in :P

KK ingame I called and he held the 77. Maybe I'm being results oriented, I did expect a split was most likely but didn't see much chance of it being a straight up win for me.

And btw I did stop halfstacking, it was nice for a week but now I'm back to normal, just that hand came around before I could refill. Halfstacking just takes away too many options and wasn't as good vs the fishes.

 you can't fold
calling leaves you with $1
raising is the only other option

fold

 There no way you can get out of this pot.
Your line is more of a bare A/air then something else.

Nice Avatar Keilah...

Half-stacking makes this an EASY river decision...
Hey knucklehead! Bonk!
