I think you played it fine. Being out of position with the amount of aggression you showed almost forces you to play straightforward. I don't think you'll be able to get in a check/raise often enough to risk not getting any bets at all on the turn (especially with the straight possibilities on this board you don't want them to see the river for free if they're chasing.Zara

I think this hand plays itself. The limp three bet could be AA, but I doubt it.

looks fine to me. going for a CR on the turn is too much. A LRR is more often than not, complete junk in their hand and they're trying to look cool. I think that turn gets checked more often than you get a CR in. Plus, if he has AK, he's gonna raise it there anyway. A donk just looks at his hand, not what you may have
