You know how sometimes you can get an inkling about a hand, like you pay a little extra to see the flop with a pocket pair because you just sense you'll hit that set?
So I see the pocket threes first and say "oh man rolled up threes on the bring in would be amazing." That third three came and I was quite happy. What followed was nothing short of riciculous, not so much because of my hand, but the fact that the guy kept betting it for me. I was surprised, to say the least.

The thought of making quads on fourth briefly entered my mind after I saw the trips, but I never actually expected it to happen.

Awesome hand. The best part, like you said, was the other guy betting it for you. I've never gotten quads, though I've seen it happen frequently to other people.

I think you could've check-raised 4th street. Then, knowing you would probably act first on 5th, checked raised again.
Your check-raise on 4th looks like you are putting him to the test and he almost assuredly calls or even re-raises you. Then, when you act first you check....seems like you are giving up on the hand you only have a pair of threes. Then check-raise 5th street and bet all the way.
Just another line to consider.
