Normally I would give this one up on the flop because I knew I was beat, but the turn and river gave me new opportunities to continue my bluff. Good or foolish? How do you like the betting amounts?

Eh, fold preflop. I shut down on the turn after he calls me, looks like he has A high or a pair, and there's a decent chance he calls with both.

First of all I think that trying to push someone off a likely overpair on a dry board is almost never profitable. Second I disagree that the turn and the river were good bluffing cards. You probably wouldn't call a preflop raise with very many hands that had a deuce or a four in them, and you were representing something different on every street. The story you were telling made no sense and it made for an easy calldown by him.

Mediocre/bad players aren't going to lay down overpairs unless you put their hole stack on the line (and even then they probably won't lay it down). This is a bad board to bluff at, and I would've played it the same way villain did most likely.
Family Cruise IMO

 great line to take if you can beat AA

I hate preflop though

Flop and turn I'm kinda torn on.

River I hate, you know what he has, and you know he's not folding.

Turn is harmless to Villain. I would like it much better if the turn was the second 4.
