Default Live 1/3 deep stack AK hand, better line?

Live 1/3 game, no cap. I have about ~$1300 behind, villian has ~$1000 behind and is solid but frustrated with me, I have stacked him twice for $300 each time, he has rebought to cover me, but has lost some more to me in the mean time. He has openly said a couple of times he just can not beat me, but is going to sooner or later. Table is tight passive. I have been playing good LAG, making a lot of raises and playing solid post flop, pushing around the weak/tight nits on the table.

PF: folds to me in MP with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I raise to $30, folds to the button who calls, SB folds, Villian in the BB calls.

Flop: (pot ~120) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]... BB leads for $180. I look at the button and see he is going to muck, I push AI.

Thought about it for about a second then decided this was a good place to stack him again.

If I call and if any club falls on the turn it kills my action. My flat calling might bring along the button, which I do not want to play a big pot three way with TPTK/FD. If a Q falls I have to fold to a strong turn bet/push. I look weak based on my prior play by just calling, not to mention I do not want to give up the driver seat in the hand to an OOP player.

His overbet lead ment he had a hand he was willing to play a big pot with. I put him on AQ, AK or QQ. I really put QQ low on the list, as I would have expected a strong RR out of the blinds with QQ, KK or AA and maybe even AK.

So considering I do not want to give up control and do not want to kill my action with a turn card, what do you think?

Is 10xBB the normal raise?

And with stacks this deep, I hate your line. What is calling you that you beat? Will villan really call here with AJ/A10?

I much prefer calling and keeping the pot smaller. I usually prefer to
-call the flop
-bet/raise the turn
-check/call a marginal bet on the river

This of course depends on the texture of later cards. But given blanks, that is how I usually play it.

EDIT: did not see the flush draw the first time. I still prefer to call and see a turn. With stacks this deep, I prefer to make my hand before blasting this pot out of proportion.

Between 5xBB and 10xBB, for me 10xBB is the standard on this table.

AJ and AT are possbile holdings here, but I put him on AK or AQ more times than not here. QQ is possible but considering the PF action I put it low on the list, he is a fairly agro more or less ABC player, with a few moves.

I think AQ leads for 1/2 to 2/3 pot here, not an overbet. The overbet smells of AK, which would be hard for him to laydown.

With AQ I have 44% equity and with AK I have 68% equity according to pokerstove.

I don't understand? You mean to win it outright?
