I think raising preflop is too loose here, but when you get min 3bet you definitely can't fold for that price and given that its just one pot sized bet on the flop we definitely cant fold when we hit a top pair otherwise we may as well not see a flop.

So, fold pre but as played just go with it.

Hi ualexandr!
I woud recommend you to fold hand like that PF from that position. They are very hard to play post flop and in most of cases you will be OOP on flop/turn/river. If someone raises you, you are probably dominated, so even if you hit your A, you can be behind.

You raise and MP1 re-raises and BB calls.
Both of them are having very little behind, so this show me that they are super strong or they are very fishy (especially BB). But anyway I don`t recomend you to call here, even if you have odds to call, because you will be behind almost everytime and you will be OOP on later streets. So I woud fold here.

You call and on flop hit TP.
I like your check here. But I am not sure if you can call his push. If he is very loose player or too aggresive, you can call here, because you woud be in good shape here. But if opponnent is tight player or good reg, then just fold, because you will be behind too many times and even your A can easly have worse kicker.

i think my question would be; if you're not going to c-bet a flop like that (relatively dry, hits your perceived range) then why bother raising preflop in the first place? Obviously you've gathered it's a bit loose to raise A7s UTG but my point is one that relates to ones play in general.

It wouldn't be a cbet, he raised then got min3bet pre.

My bad, but when someone min 3bets like that it shouldn't really change the power of betting the flop all that much right?
