so ive been noticing the massive amounts of money people are making playing HU, so im going to try to learn how to be a better hu player. here is a hand i had a question with. i tend to be kind of a station HU.

i stacked this guy earlier AQ vs. AJ. i 4 bet him and he called, and i had no choice but to shove with overs on a T high two toned board (pot sized shove). he called with NFD +overs and missed. i think this kind of tilted him cause after he bought in for a full stack and started playing way more aggro, like pretty much 3 betting and raising me very frequently.

I'm learning too.

Once guys get aggro on me, I like to call a lot pre rather than 3 bet so I'd prolly just call there and then check/call the flop and re-evaluate the turn.

As played, I think you have to fold. You are beating TK, JQ, and bluffs. You are losing to any A, JK, TQ.

I would almost never bet the flop, but as played 3-bet all-in.

Well it's obviously marginal and you shouldn't do it if you think he thinks you might be getting frustrated by his aggression. This flop hits your range much harder than his range and you've got good equity with a pair and a gutshot against his calling range. If he has QT, then good for him, but you still aren't drawing dead. If he's tilted he is fos here a good amount of the time.

You might want to throw in a tester bet, he might have a medium sized pocket pair.

You may just want to check call him, or depending on his bet check raise and if he reraises, you know you are definitely beat.
