$100 PP NLHE, shorthnaded game, me and my opponent have $100 stacks. I have QQ on the button, it's folded to me. The player in the BB has been playing a little crazy and raising most pots so I just called with the intention of raising him. But the SB raised to $6 before he got a chance, the BB called, then I raised to $24, the SB called and the BB folded.

I vaguely remember playing with him before and I think he's a little loose. Flop comes TKK, he checks, I bet $30. He calls.

Turn comes 4, he checks, I bet all in, he calls. River is a jack, and he takes it down with AK.

Should I have been trying to value bet this so agressively? Should I have check/called him the whole way? Do I bet the flop then try and check it down? Or, considering that I raised him a significant amount preflop, can I say to myself, the odds are just too great that he has AA, KK, AK, TT, and get away from the hand? Any comments appreciated.

You gotta shut down after the flop here with most stack sizes, especially bigger ones and probably including yours. I would be pretty sure he has AK with the knowledge that he just called your reraise preflop and just called on the flop.
