I was very unsure about my hand at the end. Villian was 30% VPIP, no PFR so far and neutral aggression. Looking back I probably played the streets a little weak, but the board didn't scare me so I figured I keep him around witha king or smaller pocket pair. Maybe he had the king and pegged me for 1010-QQ. Two cold calls and the big reraise made me lean towards a set or possibly two pair with KJ or some other donk call pf like K9,K8. Or is it possible he had a strong heart flush draw, and chosse to rep the diamonds? I certainly gave him odds to chase. Straight unlikely preflop call I think. I'm guessing some harder bets early would have cleared this up.

All advice welcom and what do you put villian on? How do you normally handle AA with a non scary board and one court card?

I wouldn't really call that a non-scary flop! TJ has a straight draw, there are plenty of gutshot draws, there's the flush - and 88 and 99 are a threat too. You *really* need to price a drawing hand out of calling - I'd bet the flop or so here.

By the river, with further scare cards falling, he could have a straight, a flush, a set, trips, two pair, and you beat none of them. What's the best case scenario for you? AK? To me it looks like, maybe, K9d, QT, KJ, 88 or any of a number of other hands, all of which beat you.

Bet pot on the flop. You're giving the opp great odds to call a lot of hands.
