I don't particularly like your oversized (pot) open, and the flop bet should be smaller too, when you're OOP with middle pair multiway.
I'm calling the river. Two pairs is very high in your range, and while you're losing to a set or straight, or A7 sometimes, you can beat hands like 54s, 76s, or some random pair like 88/66.
77, 55, and 44 make some sense for villain, but that's only 7 combos. Unless he's a nit, he has just as many combos that you're beating, and you only need to be right a third of the time.

Opening size is too big as a standard, is ok if you are exploiting someone in the blinds who is bad.

Going to hazard a guess and say that you should not be betting this hand on the flop.

definitely check flop, it's not a particularly good flop for us relative to BTN or SB, A5 isn't high in our range, it's difficult to get called by worse and when we do it tends to have 30-ish% equity, and yet we have pretty reasonable visibility

edit: as played I call the river just because we're pretty high in our turn check range and there can be plenty of combos of 98s/96s/K6s villain can bluff with but I'm far from delighted about it
