Misplayed Big Slick?

No real reads on the table as yet since this is still my first cycle of the table. I chose this table because it had an average pot of $34 in the afternoon/early evening.

Reads: No reads on anyone.

I didn't really see anything wrong with my play at the time. I was getting no resistance on my betting so I thought I might well have the best hand. Due to comments made after the hand though I thought I would check with my trusted 2+2 posters to see if I did play correctly or if I really screwed this one up.

All comments are greatly appreciated.

I don't see anything wrong with the play, especially with no reads.

No reason to slow down on the turn IMO. If someone had a J and did not raise, I hope they were the ones getting chastised.

No problem here.

Dude, "no reads on anyone"? Come on.

Flop: I don't like betting into three opponents since you're likely drawing and I don't think you're cleaning up any outs. I guess the pot is big enough that maybe it makes sense, so I don't hate it, but I would have checked. But maybe I am too weak with overcards.

Turn: Basically the same opinion as flop, although now you do have the information that no one raised the flop. Of course that could just mean one of them has a J. If you get raised, do you automatically fold? Good thing no one did, so I assume no one has a J.

River: Right, bet. I think you beat UTG's weak ace and CO's Q.

I think the flop and the turn are both pretty shaky bets. I know we all make them, but this is a major leak I'm trying to fix. I don't see anyone going anywhere on the flop. Would anyone have a problem with check/call on the flop? You have 4 clean 10 outs, and say, 1.5 outs for each A or K. So you'd like to see the turn, but if there's a lot of action, you can fold, but it could easily get checked through, as the other players might fear a check raise. If checked through, then fire a barrel on the turn, but your bet will buy you position, at best, and probably not that. Please feel free to correct me, my missed AK play needs a lot of help. Thanks.
