Why not 3bet the turn? You are only behind A2, A4, AK, 22, and 44.

Ram and jam as many chips as possible into this pot.

I reraise the turn here. When villain has an ace, you get action. With a draw you want his money while he's still drawing, because he won't pay you off once he's missed. Only with an opponent making a bluff, who's agressive enough to fire again does this line make sense to me. Even with an aggressive player he has a draw or ace enough here to make the turn raise, not to mention the possibility that your opponent plays back at you with less. You lose a lot more when you miss these bets than you gain by trying to induce.

Re-raise the turn, you'll dominate lesser aces so often its an easy play.

Hell yeah you're outthinking yourself, try and put in as many bets as you can on this turn.

Re: yes I know I have trip A\'s am I outthinking myself?
 

I agree with what others have said. Reraise the turn. You're ahead here with your good kicker more times than you're behind. If you get capped you can slow down on the river.

And 53, although I would need a read that BB is really loose preflop and on the flop to worry much about this hand. I reraise the turn as well.
