Weird spot and result due to inexperience playing super-deep and loose/aggro reads.

Villain 1 (covers): Young islander reg, pretty loose preflop, even to 3b, somewhat aggro postflop with loose calling tendencies.
Villain 2 ($500): Young indian reg, also somewhat loose preflop, tends to be passive postflop and make weak calls.
Hero (~$1.8k): Young asian reg, been playing pretty tight, up a lot from calling off 2 donk barrels on turn and river for $900 stacks w/TPGK against tricky old dude, and taking down couple pots w/o SD, prob somewhat aggro image.

$5/5 NL (10 handed)

Hero is dealt AA in SB.

UTG raised to $20, 6 callers, Hero raises to $120 in SB, V1 calls UTG+1, V2 calls in MP, 3 way to flop.

I'm ok with my preflop bet sizing, figured I'd get 1 or 2 callers, started worrying after deepstacked V1 called which affected subsequent action, not used to being so deep.

Flop (~$450) TT6 rainbow.
Hero checks, V1 bets $300, V2 shoves for $375, Hero calls, V1 calls.

I checked flop hoping to induce value bets/bluffs from V1 and a loose call from V2, since I have the effective nuts besides a random T or 66. Figured V1 could bet any pp, maybe even whiffed overcards since my check looks like whiffed AK/AQ. V2 probably shoving something like 88+. Also I thought I should pot control since we're so deep and I'm OOP. I think the hand plays so much simpler if I just bet out here, with aim of barreling all streets on any cards, do ppl agree?

Turn ($1600) 2

Hero checks, V1 bets $300, Hero calls.

Turn bricks out, I c/c again. At this point I don't really know what I'm repping besides slowplayed AA, TT, random T and weirdly played 66. I think I should really check-raise here to get value from JJ-QQ, KK not in his range since flat preflop. Feel his range weighted towards lots of random pp esp. since betting so small.

Do ppl prefer betting out here to get stacks in?

River ($2.2k): A

Hero checks, V1 checks back.

Possibly the most expensive check I have ever made. No idea what I was thinking. Obv bet to get value from T, 66, disbelieving JJ-QQ, random AK, AQ. Obv bet out.

Result is hilarious.

Spoiler:
V1 turns over 22, Hero shows AA, V2 mucks.

$120 preflop is an awkward size if most of the stacks are deep. Your OOP and giving somebody too good of odds to set mine against you. With the amount already in the pot go stupid big, $200+. If the other stacks are shorter, then smaller is OK, but I would probably still go $150 here just because of the amount of dead money in the pot.

On flop, I would rather lead the check/call. Not because I'm worried about losing but more because I'm worried it will check around. After checking flop, I would bet turn in this situation. Trying to get some money in now from pairs that didn't hit but will probably call one bet.

You are right that the river is a big mistake. Lots of worse hands might call but even fairly strong hands are probably checking behind.

Raising Bigger pre this deep OOP

Shove River gives Villain better than 2:1 on a call

When being this deep i want to either make the 3 bet alot larger, to give my opponents worse implied odds against me and getting a more fav SPR- or i want to flat and play some poker in a smaller pot. Big pocket pairs goes down in value alot when playing this deep, and you dont have to auto 3 bet them every time. Its becoming more of a postflop value hand, than a hand your looking to stackoff with. (Of course if you get 4 bet pre your high fiving the dealer and trying to control your boner as you declare allin but you get my point).

Like other posters have said i simply cant believe how you manage to NOT ship the river when you get the best payoff card in the deck on your part. Its like a million in the middle and you manage to check the top boat, wow.
