Make the bet on the turn a little bit bigger. Maybe like 90, get him emotionally attached to the pot so you can get a nice big bet in on the river (which i see you did anyway.) It all looks good. Well played.

I don't know, that board scares me if I'm holding a lower pp.

Az limped, then called all of your bets. Maybe he was smooth calling all the way with T9. Only 5 guys at the table, right? I definitely would have limped with T9 in his position. Then again he could also be limping with a lower pp, but unless he's a dumb ass, he wouldn't be calling all of your bets with a low pp unless it's 44 and he's smoth calling. Then again, he never raised you on the river (but of course we couldn't have guessed that).
Without any previous interaction with the guy, I would have either 1. checked the turn and fold to any sizable bet, or 2. Bet up to twice the size of your bet on the turn, and if he calls tread very lightly (ie check/fold on the river). If he's making those kinds of calls, I put him on 44, KT, or possibly even 98 or T9.

Bet bigger on the flop/turn.. Put out closer to pot sized bets.
River bet looks good, a nice value sized bet.
(*edit* Damn just realized I said exactly what -rilla said)

flying sacuer attack was right the guy had T9 and beat me with a higher boat, sucks for mwe cause i got a huge portion of my stack cut down

And he didn't double up off of you?! You got unlucky to hit this scenario, but lucky to run into someone who doesn't realize the value of a raise with a very strong hand.

That seems like obscenely tight. I rarely play scared when I flop the full-house, even if it's not the 'nut' full house (which it was until the turn).

you're lucky the guy didn't double up off of you though!

I know rilla its very weird thats why i kept on raising he never reraised even with a very high boat, thats obne very passive player

lol. Looking back at my post I must not have seen his pocket 4's. Stuck is right, playing the way I said is obsenely tight. For some reason I thought you had a middle pocket pair (not 4's ). Alright. Assuming you had 7's in the hole, my advice stays. :P
