E is a true gambler but he also seems to know to play a little bit. A is in general loose passive. I was going to cap preflop but it was a misclick, how's it look?

I think you can go ahead and make it 3 bets after the first draw because you're probably still a favorite, however against a very agressive 2-7 player I think in genral you should be plaing "weak tight." You want to limit the size of pots against this guy and figure out what in general he's going to stay pat on in each round. Try to only play with position and get in extra bets once you make a hand or when you suspect you're 2 cards ahead.

I know this probably sounds a little counterintuitive, but I think TT posted something in a similar vein recently...

making your hand in TD 27 doesn't kill your action till a round later, and even then it doesn't necessarily. I think this makes it necessary to get your money in more often with made hands then very good draws.
