77, villain limp-pushed

110$ turbo. Blinds 25/50

Hero (1790) 77

Villain (1210)

Villain limps, hero raises to 170, villain raised to 1210 (allin).

Villain looks like agressive, but not crazy. He used to bet almost any flop if I check with a potbet, and fold to my c/r.  He mixed limps and open raises, rarely folds his buttons. He 3bets me only once at 15/30 (just a few hands before), it was also push. I believe it's my  second raise of his limp.

I made a call because I thought he probably raised PP like 88-JJ preflop, and not pushed big PP (QQ-AA). I expected that he had small PP or Ax hand more often. However, my range should be very tight for him, so I think it's a close fold/call decision.

My question is: whats your range for call here?

If he folded to your first

If he folded to your first limp I would be raising his limps with something like the bottom % of my range (73o, 62o, crap like that) and probably 99+ AJs+, AQ+ and calling a shove with the latter, folding the former.
If he's a limp call station ignore the air part of the range and you can expand your range a lot wider depending on his limping frequency and I'd still probably call with the hand range mentioned, though that is pretty exploitable (albeit would be rather rare for somebody to exploit you with limp shoves based on an ever changing range, it just doesn't usually happpen and when it does it is rare).

i think you can give him a

i think you can give him a limp-pushing-range like 22+ A2s+ KJs+A4o+KQo+  i think this would be a realistic range, if he isn´t a maniac.
 
with 77 you have an equity of 55,254%... so its an easy call, even if you are sometimes running into aces...
 
i think a callingrange like 66+ A9s+ KQs Ajo+ is good. if you equilate this range against his range you have an equity of 60%

Do you think people are

Do you think people are really limp shoving hands like A4o-A8o?  We should still have around 50% equity without some of the more debatable parts of your range, however.  Should probably do it properly and weight certain hands as more likely than others (for example I would be much more certain the avg player would limp shove AK than A7, this hurts our equity compared to using pokerstove) to really get a good idea, but I think it's pretty close.
