How I played this hand?

Hello everyone,
Today I played this hand on one freeroll , and I want to hear your opinion about how I played it.
I decited to join with A7 from UTG , because I think this hand is strong enough for such of tournaments.
I joined on this bank with raise everyone folds , but big blind called me on pre flop.
So the flop was 7 J 2 , my opponent makes check ,and I decited to make a raise , because I have a pair of sevens , and to get more information about his hand , he called me , then the turn was K my opponent makes check , and I thinked to check also , because I thinked that he maybe have J or flush draw , and the river was A , and now I have the two biggest pair , and the flush draw didn't come , and I decited to make a raise , because he checked every road , and I thinked that I am better than him , he make all in , and I've thinked a little bit only street or any set or any biggest two pair can't beat me here , and I make call . My opponnet had street , and he won this nice bank. Bad call on river , and bad card as always on river for me.
Here is the hand : http://www.boomplayer.com/ru/poker-hands/Boom/17082059_989103608E

Thanks guys ! I want to see your comments!

When i see how this hand played out i gues its fine to open it, if he calls a big cbet with Q high no draw, you get value out of your hand easily vs players like this. On this flop i like to cbet, but i wouldn't bet so big. 40% is more then enough. You will get the same info and the hand isn't strong enough to bet so big for value even if it is a drawy flop. The turn is a bad card so i like the check on the turn. I Like the size for value on the river, when he jams we call it off. There are a bunch of hands that shove the river for value that are worse, and maybe he would even shove a missed draw. Don't see him slowplay a set like this on this board. Villian just played it like a retard, unlucky.

You don't necessarily need a hand or draw to float on a board like that. We also don't know how OP has been playing at that table either, so that's a factor.

The Q10 call on flop was fine if their intent was to bluff river. They saw a free river and hit.

Not sure about the shove call on river though because what hands is villain check-raising that OP beats? Any bluff hand is going to lead out on river since they have no showdown value. They could check-raise, but risk the check behind from OP. So, they really aren't check-raising with worse hands except A2/KJ.

The villain in a FREE ROLL floated with air. You can say he got a free card but imo if our hero bets that king no matter what villain is staying around open ended.

As far as this hand goes, two things come to mind was the villain a total fish who just was being stubborn on the flop, or was he talented enough to float and continue out of position.

To the OP I do not like your open under the gun with the A 7 to early in position to open with such a weak hand. What were you going to do if one of the many players behind you yet to act were to 3 bet you?

weel you did not play bad,juste maybe you should try bigger raise on turn,if you think he my possibble wait strait row,well next time more luck...

Bigger raise on the turn? What are you talking about the turn was checked on both parts.

First if the flop was that you have to check and you can study what he probably have, and when you see the A at the river now you know that you have two pairs but you have to be careful because your opponent played tight and he could be wating for a card to complete the prospect or simply he have a nice card since the beginning

Hindsight is a wonderful thing when you know the outcome

A 7 UTG is not the smartest hand to open with. However your first raise was questionable
It makes no sense to raise on the turn with two over cards on the board, even if it gives him a free bet.
The river gives you two pairs, but with A K J on the board alarm bell should have started to ring. Not a time to raise
