Why not bet the flop? You 3 bet PF.

I like every street with one slight possible exception to think about. I'm not sure what others think but:

Unless you know the player particularly well and have good reason to think they will bet a worse hand when the Ace comes, I'd bet the turn instead of check-raising.

The reason is that you probably have the best hand here but it's "the hand to beat" so to speak and that makes it relatively predicatble the way you've played it. So check-raising opens up two bad possibilities.
1) He checks behind you and you lose a bet
2) He 3-bets you and you wind up paying more when you are
beat (possibly when he holds AQ, 99, QQ, or AA in that order of likelihood). You lose less if he has you beat when you just bet and call his raise.

But your results look pretty good so we'll see what others think.

With only two others in the pot, on a fairly uncoordinated board, you may win the pot right there - or at least get it heads up.

You also have some outs to improve with = classic semi-bluff.

I like everything but the check on the flop.

I would raise the flop in hopes of making UTG fold. I would check the turn unimproved in hope of a free card.

Check raise the flop, bet the turn, you played the river well
