I would not have done a thing differently there. You MUST bet that turn because why in the heck wouldn't someone raise on the flop if they hit the A? If they are indeed slow rolling you with an Ace, now would be the time for them to pop it up.

On the river it seems to me like the SB hit is flush. Button could have just been betting to represent since you showed weakness, but with the SB raising, you are definitely beat.

I am going to guess the Button had a T (or KJ trying to buy it after he missed his gutshot) and SB had either a flush or a full house, 7s over Aces.

standard aggro move. nothing wrong.

well - if you bet the flop. There are times when I don't lead ace high flops against multiple people. This is a minority of the time, though, not the rule.

Very well played. The turn is definitely a bet, it's a pretty damn good card actually.

So then, if the river didn't bring the flush, this is a call? I know that the 2nd ace makes it less probable that they have an ace, but it seems like 50/50 they were on a draw or had the ace. I don't play limit though, I'm just curious what the logic is.

Not necessarily. It might still be a fold. Multi-way, I would probably advocate a fold, depending on what I know about my opponents. HU without any read/info on Villain, I would c/c.

If you check the river, I almost always call, there is just way too big a chance to induce a bluff.

i would normally agree, but not with a raise and a reraise before your turn to act.
