I chose not to barrel turn because I put him on JJ-99 and AK. I think I could have gotten away with betting the turn though because it looks like I have KQ, but checking looks like I have AQ which I think looks more credible.

I was planning on betting about half pot on all blank rivers if checked to trying to rep AQ trying to get value from under pairs. I think when the heart comes we should just give up, since if we bet it looks super bluffy. Thoughts?

Don't like a 2.5x open from MP and not sure we should be calling the 3b pre with a coldcaller still left to act.

AP when V checks flop after the action pre, I don't think we're ever getting them off of their hand with a single bullet, but given that we've only got a BDSD I think I'm just giving up. I mean if we're calling this wide pre, we're going to have plenty of better hands to select for multiple street bluffs.

Fold or 4bet pre. Calling with a player behind is the worst option. A5s is a good candidate for a 4bet bluff here especially against the SB whos 3bet range will be wider. A 4bet pre will allow you to credibly cbet this type of flop and get folds.

Call pre is terrible with A5s. Give up flop as played, we have much better candidates to barrel

I was leaning more towards a call because of the caller behind. He's not likely to squeeze and we get better pot odds on our call when he calls and suited aces don't play that badly in a multiway pot.

I'm with the 4b or fold pre camp.

But you are sandwiched then between 2 players with an easily dominated Ax and a capped range. It's just not a profitable spot imo.

Exactly
