apologies for the poor format...apparently the hand history converter won't work on these forwarded hands.

fivehanded i like a raise with this hand. your combined chances of stealing it now or on the flop are too good.
what's with the flop check? i feel a lot better buying this pot now than i do about letting a dangerous free card drop off. and your opponents do not appear particularly aggressive based on the play of the rest of the hand, so checking to induce a bluff isn't the best idea.
raising the turn is definitely in order. a worse hand may fold, but why give him a free chance to improve?

much like your last hand, if i'm going to check this flop, i would save it for a hand where my primary opponent will bet more than $4 on the next round. here i would bet the flop and try to win the maximum from a big ace that won't know what hit him. if you really thought the guy would run a bigger bluff, you played it okay.

even in good position this is really not the kind of hand i want to be playing in no-limit. your postflop play was okay although you might have tried making a play for it on the turn. still, four players is a lot to bet into as a steal.

why did you bet? he TOLD you he had the ace.
seriously, interesting river bet. it will certainly push a typical player off a hand less than a flush, but his most likely hand to be just calling you so far is a big club, or a slowplayed flush or full house. i'm interested to see who else here would make this bet. as an aside, i think you could have bet less, say $60, and gotten the same effect with better odds.
