Preflop
Standard defend.

Flop
Great flop for you obviously. But even though you flopped trips, your hand is mostly a bluff catcher. Yes its great, there are two aces on the board rather than one, because it makes it less likely, he has one. And it also mean, there are no flopped two pair and less sets, he can have. But even so in order to raise for value, you still need to get called by worse. And the issue here is, that unless he has you beat, his hand is pretty weak and likely not interested in playing for all this chips. If for instance he has JJ-KK, and you start piling chips in, he is probably just going to fold. And this is why, the best play here is to just call, just like you did.

Turn
This card changes nothing other than the fact, TT just got there, and he might have picked up some gutshot draw or a second pair. But the situation is still the same, as it was on the flop. When you make this large check-raise, you pretty much force him to always have a better hand, when he give you action. The fact, you were not happy, when he jammed on you, kind of tells it all. You already had 75% of your chips in the middle, so there is no difference between him calling or jamming. Which mean, you were only happy, if he folded. And this is a major sign, you did something wrong, because your hand was way to strong to turn it into a bluff. Instead you should have just called again and then also check-called across most rivers.
