Default Optimizing Quads

I messed up this hand a little as played. I have my thoughts on how better to play it, but wanted to know the best strategy to optimize value.

Foxwoods 10 Game:
Table actually has more people who have clue than those that do not. I am running so-so, down slightly on the game, but was up almost a rack before running cold.

SB Regular nit who sees any river if he has a piece of the board
BB Mr. Rick
UTG Thinking player (a little too standard IMO), but certainly a winner at the game (JJ for those who know)
Btn Decent player who does not know me too well

They probably view me as a little too aggressive.

Hand:
UTG limps, MP2 limps, I look at Red 22 and limp, Btn Raises, All Call

Flop:
A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets (He has exactly AJ or A10), MP2 folds, I call, BTN Raises (sweet.. he has AK or AQ), UTG calls, I call.

Turn 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

UTG checks, I?

Should I just jam the flop knowing that they view me as aggressive? Check-Raise Turn?

Comments on all streets appreciated.

I think you lead on turn and three bet if you get the chance. If they think you are too aggressive than you should definitely be aggressive when you have a hand like this. If the button has AK then he will probably raise the turn and may call you down just to be sure you have a two. I like the calling on the flop to let gutshots and backdoor flushes draw.

you won't be able to bet/3bet so don't do it. gotta check raise now or the river, but if you try to check raise the river a scared button with check through at the end fairly often, depending on the player. however if you check raise the turn, UTG folds to the raise. its just a simple EV calc once you decide on the liklihood of the river being checked through, the turn being checked through, and whether or not the button folds to the river raise.

I would check-raise the turn as well here.
