Check

This board has some problems for your Ts. The pot is pretty sweet as is, just check and hope your Ts help up. Could be missed draws but someone may be hoping that someone(you) will bet.

Holy $%^& this is a tough one. I think I like checking here.

Klooless may have a suited connector like 67 giving him a set, but is scared of the spade on the River.

Enough with the suspense, what happened?

Check. You don't have a solid hand on this board and I doubt you'll be able to push all 3 of them off with a large bet.

I'd happily check here. Doubt you've got much of a chance to win it at showdown but the pot is huge and you can always hope.
I'll be a rootin' tootin' shootin' damn fool, protectin' my chips.

 check for sure, a bigger raise on the flop would have helped.

That's a strange/bad way to play AA. With the TT I will normally raise PF unless I'm just mixing my play up. But as played, definitely check the river . If the river was checked around, what did everybody else have.

 Ok first im gona forget anyone has AA!
With TT in that position so early i mite be tempted to raise it up and get aggressive. imo its a nice hand to find out what some of your opps are made of and learn about the table. Potentially with hindsight you walked into a monster which may have been bad but it just depends upon your style, i prefer early aggression.
(Obviously i would expect AA to raise you back therefore you have to drop the tens anyway preflop)
Second that pot is soooo fishy that you have to check that river card. Similarily, there are plenty of hands out there that beat yours so if you can safely check a final card then do so unless you think you can maybe bluff the pot. I think i wouldnt have called the turn bet it just looks like some1 has something they havent told you about and your walking into a trap
As someone else wrote what an odd way to play aces but a raise preflop may have saved you some chips imo as you would probably have been reraised. Then again, i wouldnt have played this hand in any other way different from how you did i might just have dropped the tens on the turn.

im assuming klooless had the AA? i would have raised preflop to 100, cant really give suggestions for the rest of the hand because obviously it would be totally different

I realize he was hoping someone would bet, but if I had AA for a full house, I'd bet after the river. If everyone folds, I still win the pot AND I don't have to show my cards, giving away as little information to my opponents.
