I'm not familiar with the texture of 5/10, but the only thing that I think is a little marginal is the pf limp. Did you have a read that the blinds were loose?

Both early limpers were loose, and take marginal hands to the river too often. As long as they're in the pot, I could care less whether the sb comes along or not.

I wouldn't 3-bet the flop. The rest looks good.

If you wait till turn to raise, do you cap a 3-bet or just call?

Preflop is a really really really easy limp no matter whether the blinds are loose or tight.

If you cap, what do you do on river, when:
1. villian bets into you?
2. villian checks, you bet, and villian raises?

2) Call.

UTG's flop calls followed by the turn checkraise makes me think he's got a very good hand. Hopefully it's just A4/AQ/A2, but I'm also concerned about 44, QQ, AA, and 53s. (I know 35 hands isn't much, but Villain does seem pretty loose and passive.)

So, anyway:

AQ = 9 combos
A4 = 9 combos
A2 = 3 combos

44 = 3 combos
QQ = 3 combos
AA = 3 combos
53s = 4 combos

I don't know quite how to weight these. Villain did take a lot of heat on the flop if he just has A4. Then again, maybe he's wouldn't limp 53s in EP, and maybe he would raise AA/QQ preflop. And it's even possible he's playing a hand like KK really horribly.

Your turn 3-bet didn't slow him down any, though.

Anyway, your play in the hand looks good to me.
