yep, hands like that will play themselves pretty much on a loose table.

i've flopped 4 aces before and had 3 people cap the turn and river for me.

Yeah, I often play this flop fast. Playing it fast works at a lot of lower limit games, but into the 3/6, 5/10 and up I think you need to slow play the flop here and there.

In my experience, playing this flop fast works in the higher limits because no one will put you on the the big hand. They will have expected you to slowplay it. The converse of this is I have won more than a few pots with checkraise bluffs on the turn in $10/$20 cash games when the flop comes down like this.
To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

BB is an idiot for calling that down, hence I'm more inclined to raise the flop or river.
