Push all-in. If he has 55 or 99, well, so be it. If he has 4x, take your medicine here and make this guy your new best friend.

You're darn right you should have raised the flop...Only thing scary there for you is A4 or 55, but you hold two aces, and if he has 55 here...well, on a board like this you have to pay him off.

More than likely, you're probably still ahead here. I can see 77-KK doing this if he didn't believe you were on AA.

I raise the flop to the point where he feels he must push or fold. $20 should do it. If you wait till the turn, you're just letting him catch possible cards. Your hand isn't likely to improve.

You gotta play this one to the river. Call the turn and let him do the betting on the river or come over the top on turn doesn't really matter. Since you want to make the most money I would not push the turn as it might scare him off (I know you are committed if you just call and he knows that, or at least he should but it really doesn't matter what you do all the money will go in by the end). Also the river can only help you if you catch a miracle river A.

You could re-raise the flop just to find out where you are and if he moves back over the top you "might" be able to make that laydown. Any overpair to that board plays it the same as your opponent. I would not put him on a 4 because most players would slowplay and there is no draw on the flop so I rule out the 4. Same logic applies to pocket 5's. If he flopped a boat he would likely slowplay it.

If he got lucky and does have a boat-its just bad luck really.

I would call the turn. I suspect you are probably ahead here, but the thing is you are either a huge favorite at this point or a huge underdog, plus you have position. I think villian most likely has some vaunerable overpair like TT or JJ, or even a slowplayed KK or QQ. There are no threatening draws out there, so no need to "protect" your hand. Call and see what he does on the river. I would call any reasonable bet ($15-20), and if he checks fire a value bet. If he has 55 he played the hand well. Unless villian is known to be a super donk, calling the turn here is standard for me.

Yeah, his opening bet UTG as the SB smells like a pocket pair and he'd like to take this pot down nice and easy. I like this line as he probably puts you on AK/AQ.

Come give me advice.

I would call the turn and raise the river.
