Default AA set, right number of bets?

Did I put the right number of bets into this pot? UTG is something like 30/20/2, if I remember correctly. I had not seen him do anything incredibly stupid or noteworthy.

Party 3/6 6max

Hero is BB with AA

Preflop
UTG raises, 1 fold, button 3-bets, SB folds, Hero caps, UTG calls, button calls.

Flop AQTr
Hero bets, UTG calls, Button raises, Hero 3-bets, UTG caps, Button calls, Hero calls.

Turn AQT3r
Hero bets, UTG raises, Button calls, Hero 3-bets, UTG caps, all call.

River AQT37
Hero bets, UTG raises, Button calls, Hero calls.

Final Pot 29.5BB

Looks ok to me. Most players aren't reraising KJ preflop, so I have a hard time believing UTG might have a straight until he caps the turn and raises the river.

UTG put in the first raise preflop and then called my preflop cap.

I'd probably just check the river. More often than not, button will fold to 2BB on the river, but will be much more likely to call for 1BB. A check/call gets 2BB in the river with the button overcall and only costs you 1BB. If you bet out, UTG calls when he's behind and you get an overcall from button, netting you the same 2BB. When you're behind, UTG raises, likely shutting button out and you have to call for the same 2BB, but you lose an extra BB when behind.

I'm still learning how to read. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

edit: this makes the straight alot easier to believe in. Check/call the river.

UTG never had a change to cap PF.

I think this is all easy until the river. after he caps the turn I think we need to put him on QQ (3), TT (3), KJ (16), or PCP. I'm not so sure leading the river is the right play, especially considering the 2-1 odds we get when we are able to overcall behind the button and we can't count on button calling two cold if UTG pops it again. and I really doubt UTG is letting it check through with a set of queens or tens.

every time I see a hand like this with action like button's I am immediately reminded of that story private joker wrote in small stakes a while back... "he still call! he still call!!". anybody know what I'm talking about?? funny stuff..

No one else raises an eyebrow when UTG call-caps the flop? If I have respect for his play, he's not doing that with anything but the nuts. Your first action was to cap. He knows he's likely facing a set, probably two.

I go into call down after the flop until I fill up.

I looked at my line.. and it's a little weak. I still slow down earlier than the OP did. If I lead the turn I probably don't 3-bet. Given how you played it, I definitely agree with Baron here.
