Built pot of $75, less than PSB behind and two streets of play OOP. Possible draw or TP drawing live against us. I just can't find here anything more reasonable than gritting the teeth and dropping the hammer.

If he's bluffing he will fold to the 3bet.
But if he's semibluffing, he'll be more inclined to gamb00l with two cards to come or go to the felt with top pair. If he makes that 4bet push with whatever draw he has, folding 65%+ equity in big pot will be huge mistake for us.

If turn bricks, villain's possible draw will lose a lot of value and chance of him pulling another semibluff raise will be much smaller. We still control the hand, but implied threat is slightly smaller and top pairs will most likely stick around for showdown (not for stacks but still fairly expensive).
ok i will change the flop to be j 7 2 cuz i meant to make it a dry flop. villain is not on a draw and is not semibluffing.
