I think there are some potentially interesting decisions to talk about here.

Nah, you played it right. And its not close.

The river's a blank to the button and unless he's the type to bet into two full tables of limpers on the turn without a pair it seems worthwhile to checkraise. I guess he misses a lot of value bets on the river for you to lead.

I think betting the turn is terrible, since if you get raised, all the random aces will fold, which provide you with a large amount of implied odds if you river the 5

Getting overcards to fold, thus improving you chances to win, is FAR more important than trying to keep in aces in case you hit your gutshot. I don't even think this is close.

Button calls and two other players called. I say sheepishly and almost like I don't believe it myself, "I have three fours". Much groaning ensues and the button gives me a wry smile as he flashes his soon-to-be-mucked black aces. I assume the others had tens?
