Default interesting hand at 5/10 nl

I am sitting at a 4 handed 5-10 nl game with $500. Everyone else has more, anywhere from $750-$1600.

I have AA utg and raise to $30. only the sb calls. judging from the first 15-20 hands that i have seen, this sb player is pretty loose and defenitly not aggresive. but i wouldnt say a bad player. NEway the flop came 7d3c3h and he leads into me for $35. I'm thinking he probably has A7s, 88 99 or maybe even 1010 or JJ. i decide all are drawing very thin against me so i decide to smooth call and see a turn. the turn is a 10c.
I like this card because, despite the fact that it could put him in the lead, i think it will be fairly easy to tell what he has by his turn play. he checks and now im pretty sure he has A7, 88 or 99. I decide to bet $80 and he quickly calls. by the quick call im almost certain he has one of the three hands. The river comes a very bad card, the 8 of clubs. he bets $150 into me. I fold pretty quickly suspecting a a full house. would u have called here?

First off, Why are you sitting 5/10 with only $500?

You have to raise the flop to see where you are at. I would raise his $35 feeler bet to $90-100. I don't really agree with your range of hands, his bet is so small that 77 is not out of the range of possibilities. especially as the hand progresses, check calls the turn, when a scare card to you hits he bets out so he won't miss a bet if you check. If he flat calls your raise you can check the turn and he'll probably make a smallish bet on the river if he has you beat since you will look weak.

Why are you betting so little on the turn? there is $140 in the pot and you bet $80? with what is now a coordinated board. You have $355 left so he's getting over 7 to 1 on a call with any draw or say a 7 with a gutshot straight draw. A bet of 125-150 would be better here.

you have him on 88, 99, TT, JJ or A7s. you can only beat 99 and JJ at the end. also of he'll play A7s he would play A3s or even 34s and as I said 77 is a possibility.

You gave this guy way too much credit and got paranoid about his loose play. Cordinated board or not he was the SB and had to pay $25 to see the flop. No way he had J,9 but I guess a boat was possible. I think you dicked around too long with your aces and he got into your head. Odds are you got bluffed out IMO and should have moved in. You didn't have the stack for the game anyhow like Steve mentioned.

The only hand I'm afraid of is one with a 3. I'm raising the flop, betting the turn, and maybe bet the river depending.

You played this pretty bad.
