Default AA hits monotone/3straight board

Pacific Poker $10NL, .05/10 blinds

Hero has $9 and is UTG+1
SB has about $18
MP1 has about $10

Hero is dealt: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG limps
Hero raises to .50
MP1 calls
SB calls

Flop ($1.50): T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
SB checks
Hero leads for .50
MP1 calls
SB calls

Turn ($3): 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
SB leads for .50
Hero pushes for $8

Thoughts?

Flop:
What do you normally do here? With the A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], I guess I was hoping to build the pot against someone with a K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] The way I figured, I would still be ahead with the Aces if it didn't hit, and get paid off huge if a club fell.

Turn:
The 7 now made this board especially dangerous with a straight even more likely. I pushed to protect.

Thoughts?

Full PSB on flop?
Push on turn ok?

I don't think your flop bet is nearly enough. I think a pot-sized bet would be better value. the stop n go by the SB weirds me out and makes me think he's strong. there is no need to push, because it seems like a WA/WB scenario. I would call and hope for a cheap showdown if you don't hit your club. the great thing about low limit players is that they don't know how to extract value with their strong hands.
