$1/2 game, effective stacks are $200.
You're playing in a live full-ring game. In this hand, a decent-but-loose player limps UTG and it's folded to you on the button. you have [as] [7s] You raise to $10 and only the limper calls. The flop comes [5d 6s 9c]. UTG checks and you bet $15. He calls and the turn comes [3d]. He checks and you check. The river comes [8h]. He checks. You bet $25 and he raises to $80.
what do you do?

What has you beat? 7 10 There is no way he can play 7 10 like above so I raise all in and if he has 7 10 then I quit poker and try my luck at chess.

I call because I'm soft - and have seen people play 7 10 until the cows come home.

I've voted "all in".
I hadn't considered "Police 10 7" here, I figure I'm either splitting or winning here.

all-in. Sure, T7 is possible here, but more likely to be a flopped straight or set (maybe even two pair). You're not losing to either of these, so the one time you're money is bad, is surely made up by the times it is good?

Would he play this way with an overpair (TT, JJ)? Try to build the pot with c/c, was hoping you'd fire on the turn, but didn't, then hopes the 8 didn't make your straight (thinking you have have A8 or A9) so fires a raise to put the pressure on?

Hands he could have that makes some sense:
A2 for straight
55,66,99,33,88 for set
10 10, J J for overpair (Rule out QQ, KK, AA as doest not fit with limp-call pre)
Suited connectors for two pair
Bluff
I think set on river or turn.

As this grapoh clearly shows, playing 10 7 is very very random:

I don't like the check/call (twice) for an over pair, and certainly not for a raise on the river.
