AQ will usually call, but will sometimes check raise at these stakes. 99 and 77 are in the check-raising range. It's a rainbow flop(3 different suits), so there's no flush draw that would play it like this, and at these stakes semi-bluffing draws is not very common, so he's basically repping 77 or 99 here. When the turn brings a 7, and he bets, it's not necessarily that he wouldn't bet quads, but that the chance that he actually has quads here is slim to none because he'd need the only 2 cards in the deck to make that happen, and we know he didn't check-raise the flop with just one seven because he'd want to continue on cheaply with the hand because his 7 might be good, he wouldn't want to bloat the pot. So on the turn, his hand is usually going to be 99, or a bluff. When he follows through on the river, his range doesn't really change. He may have AQ, he may have 99, or he is bluffing. Also, one thing I don't think I mentioned when you were playing the hand is that if he did have a Q here he may not fire on the river because a 7 is out there.(many players at the lower stakes won't break down you're range, to understand that a 7 is not in it once you call his check-raise on the flop), so you won't see a Q very often from him, and a bluff is as likely if not more likely than 99, and you already have money in the pot. Many players at these stakes won't realize that there's nothing different about the texture of the board to make his bluff successful on the river when it wasn't on the flop and turn. In other words, there's no scare cards to scare you into a fold based on the fact that there were no flop draws, and he won't realize this and often players like this will feel like they can bluff their way out of trouble, which is their only option unless they want to just give up, which they may not like in this hand.
