Hero ($1200):Have been playing fit or fold for the first 35 min or so since table filled up, nothing out of the ordinary. No real hands thus far. Played heads up with V1 earlier to try to get the second 5-10 game going (more on that later) before it filled up to full ring.

V1 ($1900): Youngish guy. Said he plays a lot online still, and hasn't played at the casino for a while. From the way he knows/interacts with some of the other 5-10 regs though, seems like he's at least a semireg.

V2 ($2000): Middle-aged, nerdy-looking guy. This was early on in the session, haven't seen him do anything too noteworthy.

I played heads up with V1 for 20-30 minutes before the table filled up. We were both hesitant to play, but were doing it with the expectation that the game would fill up rather quickly. During the session, I played much more aggro than him, 3bet a few times. V1's standard open was minraise while mine was 3x. V1 never 3bet me the entire time.

Preflop
Hero (A7)opens to $30 UTG+2, V2 calls from MP, V1 calls from button.

Flop ($105): T72
Hero checks (should I cbet?), V2 checks, V1 bets $55, I call, V2 overcalls (what is V2's range here?)

Turn ($270): A
Hero checks, V2 bets $125, V1 raises to $325, hero ???

tbh, i have no experience with 5/10 so i am not familiar with the dynamics nor the adjustments that would be needed for the meta game that plays a much greater factor that is almost non existent in llsnl.

however, I would definitely continue with a cbet on this flop. This is a pretty good flop for our hand and we should continue with the aggression we've shown pf in order to maintain control of the hand. We can adjust depending on V1s and V2s actions. why would we rather x/c than bet ourself?

AP, I'm folding ott. the little info on V1 suggest that he isn't particularly aggro, and he has shown strength otf and ott. I don't think he all of the sudden becomes aggressive moving from heads up to full ring, so his bets should carry a bit of weight. AT, TT, 77, 22 are his most likely holdings at this point. I would let this go.

I would avoid opening with A7 in EP unless i had much better reads on the rest of the table, and the dynamics were such that i could continue with my aggression and win the pot post flop the majority of the time if called. this usually requires a table full of weak/tight fit or fold type players... but, then again, I am not familiar with the dynamics of 5/10 and this may be an obvious raise from EP

You are first to act. 10 & 7 might be more in your range for anyone noticing a mildly aggro approach. So if somehow making it look like your plan was to c/r the flop, I check as you did with intent of getting it in. I bet bigger in V1s shoes with a flopped set unless its 10s then im checking the flop to get value on turn & river. That being said I am not ending action and V2 could have the real hand. I fold & pick a better spot I think. What happened in the hand?

If V2 doesnt overcall on flop & you get HU w v1, do you have intent to get it in? c/r turn lead river? whats your line HU here?

Some details I left out due to lazy copy/paste from my intial post in midstakes full ring. Decided that LLSNL is much more active and generally gives sound advice, even though this is 5-10.

1.) I had A7 of diamonds
2.) Rainbow flop (with one diamond, one heart)
3.) Turn brings back door flush draw (heart)

So to me, V2's small lead seems like an attempt to see a river cheaply. What's his range? I'm thinking it's heavily skewed towards 89 or Tx of hearts.

V3's raise is what concerns me the most. I elected to flat call - in retrospect this was suspect as it allowed V2 to overcall with his draw (his hand was pretty face up at this point).

River: 6spade. Big brick. Hero first to act and ?????
