Villain 19/16 over 253 hands and haven't really noticed anything special or odd about his play.
I wish I just had shoved pre-flop now. Only thing I can really hope that he has is AK without the A of clubs but would he really lead that flop for $100 with a clubless AK?

It looks tough because you didn't push preflop. You're getting pretty much 2:1, and that's really all you need against a reasonable range.

I guess I was just trying to do something different there, plan backfired.

You're right, the price is just about right for what I put him on.

I think you played it correctly preflop - if you shove and opponant doesnt suck he is going to fold QQ/JJ/AK and call when he has you dominated with AA. At least if you call you will most likely get him to put some more money in on the flop if he has a worse hand than you.

flop is a tough spot - you are most probably behind but are only truly crushed by AxAc, I really think that this situation, folding and raising are both ok here

My bad, thought I took those out. I think PokerStove accounts for that anyways.
