Re: too agressive with TT
This guy put in six bets on the flop and folded for one bet on the turn. You have to love it. I would have check-raised the flop too. No question he's going to bet no matter what flops after 3-betting pre-flop.
From your description of him, I wouldn't have folded for one more bet. I would have called him all the way down no matter what came on the turn and the river (unless of course a T came, in which case I'd start another raising was with him).
"Usually when someone checkraises the flop they have nothing and are trying to muscle their way through the hand"
I find it hard to muscle my way through the hand out of position. I see a check-raise a lot when the pot is 3-bet pre-flop because of the relative certainty that the 3-bettor is going to bet the flop. The check-raiser frequently has a lot more than nothing.
Given the opponent and the situation, I think you played perfectly.
