I check this flop a lot, but betting is the standard. I don't really 3-bet that many suited connectors to button opens here, so I don't have as much need to balance flop bluffs by betting here with AQ all the time.
I would tend to bet the turn here, for about $405 or so. Then I just ship the rest in on pretty much any river. I fire a pretty good amount of 2 and 3-barrels and I like to value bet a lot of streets pretty thinly to balance it.
I wouldn't be too worried here. It's doubtful he called the flop (or pre flop for that matter) with QJ, right? The A, K, Q, and T of spades are all accounted for, so his flush has to be J9 or worse. I find that a lot of players can't resist raising this flop with 89 of spades when they do call the re-raise, which makes me fear the flush even less. Also these stacks are pretty good for 4-bet bluffing, imo, so if he had J9s or 78s or whatever and thought you were getting a little out of line and wanted to play back, he would be better suited to do it in the form of a pre flop 4-bet than to call in position.
A good aggressive regular would prolly be 4-betting AK here, I think? Assuming he knows you're a good regular too, and not a standard more passive Euro-player. It's doubtful he called with AT pre flop.
I think his range is sorta like sets and garbage, as played.

Boy, you got me confused with a man who repeats himself.
