I put "villan" on something like Ace 7, on the flop bet, but prepared to fold to a raise. The two callers completly confused me.

Any thoughts welcomed...

p.s. no smart alec replys like "horrible."

This early, I'd only play the hand for set value, so no raise pre-flop. I'm trying to decide on what line I like post-flop... tricky hand. I'll let others deal with that because I'm really not sure where I stand.

I figured it was a safe raise being in CO with just two limpers infront...

No raise here. Just limp behind and flop a set. It'll save you money in the long run. TT just isn't good enough for set value here, and limpers in front make the raise bigger than it should be. Play postflop.

You don't raise to t650, half your stack, and fold. Never put yourself in a situation where you're going to do that. I push over the initial raise on the flop, because A7 and K7 are paying me off, a lot.
