Middle Set - 4 handed

[RocketManJames]

Live 6/12, Full game has deteriorated to 4 players in wee hours of the morning.

I'm UTG with black 66, and I raise. Folds to the BB who isn't horrible, but far from good. He has taken notice of my major increase in aggression since the game got short-handed. He calls.

Flop: T 6 4 rainbow
He checks, I bet, he calls.

Turn: Q, 2 spades now.
He checks, I bet, he check-raises. I 3-bet, he calls.

River: K, no flush.
He checks, I bet, he check-raises.

What is the right play? I simply called. I was really thinking to 3-bet him again, but short-handed isn't my strongest game. Maybe he had a bigger set? I didn't think AJ was possible unless he has them in spades.

How was my play?

you answered your own question - particularly the bit about noticing your aggression - so he is out to make you pay for said aggression ? - auto 3 bet

3-bet.

I don't start to think about over-set or straight until he caps. I discount the set when he just calls the Turn (barring KK - very unlikely, no PF raise).

Looks very much like to me he is playing the same hand as he was on the Turn (I was thinking QTo) or K improves his hand. AJ? does he really raise an aggressive player on the Turn with just the A and a weak draw? If he does, let him win the pot, you get it all back later.

I think it's fairly easy to read him for exactly the hand that he had.

My first instinct was KQ and second KJ. You beat them both. And QT. And KT. And AQ. And an awful lot of other hands he may play like this.
