Looks good to me. You would have made less, possibly lost, if you had slowplayed.

Definitely be happy with that. If you bet and a scare card comes, you don't want to lose your stack or be forced to fold! If one of them has AJ, KJ, QJ, or TJ, you'll likely be taking all their chips here as well.

There's nothing wrong with this hand, you played it fine. Your chip stack increased ~30% and you've given yourself plenty of ammunition to work with over the next few rounds. I used to wonder if I should have slowed played high pairs or if I played them too agressively but I'm finally beginning to accept that holding AA or KK is not an automatic license to double or triple up when they come around. You picked up a nice pot here.

Why not bet 200 or so and make a few bucks? The board isn't completely safe but it's definitely not all that terrifying.

or more...

might as well make this one HUGE and hope to isolate this guy, and nearly force him to call it all on the flop.

Terrific over bet on that flop, I love that move.

This is my normal line, and I'm quite happy about winning this pot right here, but I have seen other players take other lines in these types of scenarios.
As jeffraider pointed out it's a decently non scaring board, so I'm thinking not extracting more value here (betting like 100/checking to induce a bluff or raising like 1/2 the pot) might be a small leak.

Thoughts?
