What are your thoughts on this hand?
$1/2 No Limit.

Player 1 : ATo
Player 2 : AQs 2 Diamonds
allLiving : AJs

ATo min raises to $4 and there are two callers.
Flop: AJx, 2 diamonds.
Player 1 Bets $15, Player 2 Calls $15, I raise $50. BOTH Call
Turn is another rag. I push all in for $150 forcing them both all in.

ATo calls all-in.
AQs thinks and calls.

The River is rag, and I take down $400 pot.

Did I play this too recklessly in your opinions? Thanks

Hell no! You played it perfectly! You made them pay prices that were completely outside proper pot odd values and removed all implied odds! It's a huge winning move in the end becuase you got all you're money in as a huge favorite. Also, when you bet hands really hard it always looks to weak players like you're vulenarble and they call with outside hands that they shouldn't even have called with preflop. It's becuase all the new players who grew up watching the WPT always see the big bluff as the only way to win the big bucks.

If you played it this way everytime, you'd be a rich and happy man.

And you'd probably own your own pool... with a basketball hoop... of gold.

Yeah, you got a shit ton of money in the pot with way the best of it: well-played. With that board and the preflop/flop action, there's nothing you can really be worried about with top 2 on the turn on the flop and turn, except for a big draw (which the AQs had) or maybe a flopped bottom set . Don't see how either of them could have AA or JJ, so you did the right thing by going full steam ahead and in the process making the AQs pay max price to outdraw you and getting the very poorly played ATo to get a lot of money in the pot drawing dead.

Now this is just my preference, but on that flop it is looking beautiful for you, the only real danger would be trips on the rag that came. Depends on what your read is on the folks playing preflop and how they play pocket pairs.
I personally think the $15 bet on the flop calls for a stronger raise than $50. A lot of times when the other guys are looking at the money already in, calling another $35 may not seem all that bad to some players, especially MF's that love to try and outdraw you. My preference would be to take the pot right there after the flop, but of course the way you played will work out more often than not. Nice job.
