Default AA with TTJ flop, scary!!, 4 bet?

Online 5-10, I'm new to the table and perceive players to be "typical"

Look down and see every player's dream, A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] The next best hand to JT [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I open from late EP $10, MP calls, cutoff, button, and SB call.

5 players to the flop:

J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Not the best of flops, but manageable.

SB comes out firing $5, I raise it up to $10, MP folds, LP calls, cutoff calls, button makes it $15, SB calls the two bets, I think about capping it but decide against it due to the board, the cutoff calls. This is where I question my play on the hand, should I have made it 4 bets?

A whole lot of money in the pot now, about $115 I believe.

Turn is the harmless 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

This is a great card since it keeps the same texture of the cards allowing me to get a better read on their hands. It might have given someone a big draw with a bunch of outs against me, but that is unlikely, and if it did they're only getting the odds on one card.

SB checks it to me, I bet $10, everyone calls.

Woohoo, I'm nearly certain I'm ahead now unless there is a sneaky pete waiting until the river, but I doubt it.

River is 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] putting a back door spade 3 flush on board.

SB checks to me again, I bet $10 preparing to call if raised, cutoff calls all in for $8, button calls, SB folds.

Other than the flop where I wasn't sure if I should have 4 bet, I think I played it well.

Results to follow

Interesting that they checked to you and only called the turn even though you only called the 3 bet.

Its amazing how often people put you on AK or AQ when you raise preflop and won't change their minds. I think I would either cap that flop or I'd call and raise the turn (thats on the asssumption he'd bet into me). Either way I'm still thinking my hand is good at this stage, QQ or KK is definitely possible here.

Err nasty texture on that flop. I'm not 4 betting it. The first raise is good the button 3 bet is a little stressfull, nothing information wise to gain with a 4 bet and they aren't leaving. If the button will 3 bet a straight draw I'd cap it, though betting into him on the turn would be better.

Turn: nice bet out.
