I think you have to follow through with a bet again.
If he hasnt got a King, 2 pair or 2 hearts he should fold every other hand that beats your AQ. Even if he shoves you have 9 outs to the nuts.

- much money in the pot
- good fold equity
- reasonable outs
Bet 2/3 of the pot and call a reraise.

Too easy go at him again, just a matter of how much. If he had you already he would have rasied, youre not that far behind and he will be scared if you bet big agian. Only issue is the stack size, he may play a bit looser and coll anyway, but hes proabably not as bad as me.

looks like he cud just be floating u here on the flop, bet on turn and see if he really like his hands u have outs if he has flopped good on u.

Im betting about half pot, I think he still folds if he’s got nothing, and decides its time to get away…but if he senses weakness and bluffs, or hes got a hand, at least we can decide if we want to salvage the rest of our stack or put the chips in. Call if you put him on a bluff, fold if you think he hit it. But you can decide, rather then blindly committing yourself here. Im just not a big fan of blindly shoving chips in the middle without a read or reason to think its going to work. I’ve been the guy flat calling, and enjoying watching the oop player continue to bluff at a flop i nailed on many occasions. If it was me in position, and they check or bet small, it gives me much more to think about regardless of my hand.

My read at this point is that I am behind to pocket pair (TT-QQ), but the villain thinks I may have moved ahead with a pocket K. I’m a bit nervous that he is trying to slow play me as this would be a very good strategy. I’m actually more concerned that the villain would simply check to the showdown because of my aggressive play. It really depends on the hand history. Given what I know, I would raise, but check/fold is definitely a possibility.

Poker noob. What poker dictionary are you copying all your terms from?

This is more of a situation of bad play by the button, rather than great play by the hero.
A simple 3x re-raise on the flop from the villain would have better defined the hand as the hero would be forced to either shove or fold. Knowing that the most it was going to cost me is $416 is enough to convince me to call any shove with any K and any mid pair (+).

I don’t committing myself here. Why try to fold when you already put a 2nd bet on the turn… In any game If I think I have a chance to take it I will semi bluff here… after all its a blocker situation for you… if you get raised all in your drawing to the nuts… and a big bet will force him to fold a lot of holdings.

Shouldn’t have re-raised pre-flop. Then your flop c-bet could have been smaller and your turn c-bet smaller. Means your opponent will be less pot-committed and less likely to call your c-bets. Plus, if you brick the river, you’ll have lost a lot less.

This feels like a pretty standard place to bet. If you were deeper, you might be able to consider fooling around with a check-raise, but since you’re pretty short relative to the pot, checking in this spot is basically giving up the pot.
I’d bet an amount that makes it perfectly clear that I’m not folding to a raise, but also an amount that doesn’t look terribly desperate. I like somewhere around $300, as it’s in line with your play so far and the pot and makes it very difficult for the button to continue with a lot of hands they might have called with on the flop.
What actually happened: You bet $300 and the button mucked.
