Here, you're in a very tough spot. The place I think to fold is 5th street. You have one mid pair, only one out (at most) for Aces-up, and a ROUGH draw to a low against two players going low who may also have you for high (they almost certainly have multiple outs to beat you that will be hard to spot. If you call 5th, it's very hard to lay down on either subsequent street due to the pot size.

Very easy fold on 5th I'd say.

yu have the worst low draw and from the looks of it on 5th you are now only playing for 1/2 the pot while the other guy is freerolling for high. This is a terrible spot to be in even with a high pair like kings, so for 77 it's an easy fold.

Although unlikely, if the guy who had the 5 up paired aces on 4th then you are in serious trouble of being sandwhiched here and subsequently scooped.

Infact, looking at this hand, perhaps you can find a fold on 4th, seeing as both players seemingly improved their hands and they are favourite to win 1/2 the pot by the river and all you have is sevens.

That said, I would probably have called on 4th and then ditched the hand on 5th.
