I raise UTG WitH AA TO 15 and 4 people call. Flop is 8 8 9everyone has position on me. I check the flop looking to pot control multiway and being OOP
THe whole hand checks thru
Turn is a 6 and I bet very small 15 and the player to my direct left raises to 50. Everyone else folds and I call.
River is a Q
I check he bets 100... we tank... thoughts?
Doesn't sound that tough

Really, as games get tougher, you should be lowering your preflop raise size, else you'll be able to play a lot less hands profitably. You might want to consider an initial raise to 10, especially since in "harder" games, you'll see more 3 bets. In this case we'd want it, but still.
Flop check is okay, though a check would be better on 944. In this case, there are draws out there that can beat you on the turn, in which you're giving them a freebie.
Turn is too small. Use a sizing in the 25-35 range.
As played, you've potentially induced this bluff by betting so insignificant on the turn. Plus you're near the top of your range. You should call down.
