Game is a typically wild Friday night 15/30 at Party. I am dealt [AA] in my BB. UTG calls. An LP poster checks, all others fold to the button who raises. SB folds and I 3 bet. UTG, Poster, and Button all call.

Flop: [Ts, Tc, 6d].

I bet. UTG raises. Poster cold calls, button folds, and I call assuming I'm behind.

Turn: [Ts, Tc, 6d, As]

YES! I check. UTG bets. Poster raises.
...How many of you pop it again here? I didn't, while hoping to keep UTG in and/or hoping he'd 3-bet given the wild nature of the game and the fact he had recently suffered a few draw outs. However, I think in retrospect I probably could have 3-bet and not lost him. Anyway, I called, and UTG called.

River: [Ts, Tc, 6d, As, Jd]

I check. UTG bets out again! Poster raises again! I 3-bet, and both call. UTG shows [JT] and Poster mucked [T9].

Do you think I could have gotten any more money playing this any differently? I am thinking I got saved by the jack river card, since either that or a 9 on the river were the only cards that would allow me to earn the BB's back from the 3-bet I didn't and probably should have made on the turn.

Is this a fair and accurate assessment, or am I being too hard on myself?
