 re raise pre flop? Better to win a small pot, especially with so many behind you yet to act.

villain is TAG
ppisriggedAA raises [$10].
ppisriggedAA shows [ Qd, 7d ]

Doesn't seem TAG to me.

Past that I'd say it's reasonable to put him on AQ/KK here and go broke.

Ouch. You played it fine. I like the min reraise on the flop to find out if your hand's good. He's saying it is by just calling, so you gotta bet the turn hard like you did. Once you've committed that much to the pot, calling off your last $50 is trivial. You just got unlucky here.

You gotta raise that PF. I would raise him to $30 and hope he pushes pre-flop. Then you know you are up against a big pair and have a huge (something like 8 to 1) advantage. You still have a 4 to 1 advantage over suited connectors but when you lose to those you will lose a big pot.

I'd probably reraise pre-flop too.

Not sure about the turn. That 7 is very troublesome; it completes the heart flush draw and may possibly help a straight draw (although it's hard to imagine him having the cards necessary on this hand to make that into a straight). I would be very tempted to check behind and hope for a cheaper bet on the river that I could flat call.
