100NL - was there a better line?

Villain's stats are 15/9/3, he appears to be a regular but as I've just moved up to 100NL I can't be sure. I think my plays put my cards pretty much face up - I look like I have a pair, probably 77-TT. After 3 bets, I put him on 88+, two high hearts, or possibly a missed hand on a bluff that I left myself open to. Should I have raised the flop or played differently?

I like a 3bet pre but I guess this is fine with position.

As played fine but call river for sure.

Actually the more I think about this hand the more I want to raise the flop but it's definately marginal and a call is ok too especially if you think he double barrells a lot.

This is similar to a thread we debated last week. If you are not going to 3bet pre, my standard line would be to raise the flop, check the turn, call the river. I want to take initiative and pot control.

i wouldnt raise the flop because you only fold the marginal hands out and a bluff but spew into better hands (which basically arent folding on this type of board)
i think if you minraise the turn you show down for free but i dont know whether that is still working

omg minraising the turn is such a good idea. The main reason I think we should raise here is because I bluff raise here a lot.

Yeah don't reraise flop. I'd assume most people don't double barrel coming straight out of 50nl so we can see a turn safely imo. Once he fires turn, it's weak but the only semi-bluff hand he has is AhKh imo. I probably R/fold turn. On river I really don't think there is much you beat to be honest. I fold it.
