You played it fine.This is 9Ts more than half the time even against a LAG. Waking up when the 7 hits like that should slow you down. If it's J7 or 77 you're not missing much value.IF it's 9T there's no good reason to pay it off for 3 more BB.

CO is betting like he has 9 10. I don't think that he has pocket 7's as he should have folded after the flop. Other possible holding is j 7 as he checked pre-flop (posted) and was betting out two pair after turn.I would have called it down just like you played it after his raise on the turn.
