Thoughts - AA in 4 way pot. Not really happy about it. When sb calls big flop bet I turn into defensive mode. I feel most people who call sb are flooded w/ pocket pairs and suited broadway kinda hands and on the run out, I felt there was a good chance I was beat by the river.
Do I bet turn? Total punt? Villain seems to be thinking okay reg

You're likely hearing about 77 and 33 on the flop. Just bet turn for value
I agree you're beat often on the river. Feels right on the line of overdoing it though
Bet turn for value, but as played it's a very good line (better than calling). Small nitpick is we can raise smaller OTR because population overfolds more vs smaller raises.
I like turn check. Terrible turn for our range and quite a nice hand to use to protect our checking range when we have Ac. OTR I think jam is correct, I feel it would always be better to jam value here and feel a small raise very sus. Obviously doodoo knows the meta better than I do, but I think on the flush completing river specifically your line is optimal
