$2/$4 6-max, 5 players

UTG is a very loose and aggressive (about 70/40/4). Note that there is no betting cap heads-up.

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with A A
UTG calls, Hero raises, 2 folds, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: 5 3 K (6.5SB, 3 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets, BB folds, UTG calls.

Turn: 7 (4.25BB, 2 players)
UTG bets, Hero raises, UTG re-raises, Hero calls.

River: 3 (10.25BB, 2 players)
UTG bets, Hero raises, UTG re-raises, Hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: 16.25BB

There is no cap on crpyto--betting can go on until one of the players is out of money.

Also, the river pair trumps a two pair he may have made on the turn (and fails to complete any straight draw he may have made).

Everyone wants to cap this turn (as would have I if it was possible), but given that there is no cap, would a 4-bet be wise, risking a possible 5-bet back? Or was I right to stop at 3?

 i think your hand didnt improve so much on the river that you should raise, if you think your hand wasnt strong enough on the turn to put in a 4th bet.

I think I put in a 4 here, if he makes it five, i call down. He can really, really have a lot of hands.
