KK am I right to slow down here?

Villain is a TAG. I slowed down here because I feared QQ or AA.

Should I have popped him back on the turn?

With the exception of something stupid like A7,77 etc you are behind only two hands, but given your read I would probably play it the same.

yeah this looks like a TAG getting good value out of a big hand. probably best not to 3-bet here because it will get capped behind you pretty often.

No. It's closer to a fold than a 3-bet. Not that I'd ever fold.

I think this is the best and only line you can really take. You lose the least to AA and QQ and extract the max from AQ (might be able to get 1 more bb) or a busted flush draw if the tag decided to semi-bluff the turn

I go ahead and 3-bet the turn. You are leaving out AQ as a possible holding.

I doubt a TAG would play AQ this way. 3 betting is pointless. Calling down is the only correct play.
