However, I'm calling with these cards with the intention of making a real sneaky, undetectable hand and taking down this other guy's entire chip stack. The guy raising has almost $100, I've got over $200, playing for that entire stack gives pretty good implied odds.

With that in mind, I've hit a fantastic flop. The nut straight would be better... but, this is an incredible flop for my hand.

No one is putting me on a 7 with that pre-flop call. I wouldn't put anyone else on a 7 either. When my opponent smooth calls and then raises, I smell AA or he's overplaying a bunch of different hands. Maybe he's thinking I'm on a flush draw. Either way, odds are he does not have AA and he's beaten. I'm pushing all my chips on the re-raise and watching the fireworks. Just my 2 cents.
If I was going to stay in the hand, I probably wouldn't push all-in on the flop. If he does only have an ace, then I have him totally dominated statistically and there's no need to protect my hand. The better play, I think, is to call, and then let him bet into me again on the turn to build the pot, at which point I'd raise all-in after he's gotten himself committed.
