Also, I think you need to lead out for more than 1/3 of the pot on the flop. Your actions looked like a weak continuation bet and invite a bluff.

What's wrong with inviting a bluff here?

Nothing at all...unless you plan to fold to it, which it sounds like the OP strongly considered and some people are advocating.

At the time I did not consider folding, but in hind site I wonder if playing tptk as the nuts is a leak of mine, at least at the early levels. Afterall, I think it is rare, even at the $11's, that someone raises all in after I have bet aggressively pf and flop... all-in in this situation seems to suggest extreme strength.

I don't think OP was trying to induce a bluff here, but that's beside the point. Once he got the all-in he's got to fold. You can induce all you want, but there is nothing wrong from backing down from it either.

Clear fold to me. I think a better discussion now is: How does Hero play it if villain makes it t200 to go? What hand makes that bet? What does Hero do on turn and river?

AQ--early in SB?
call, hoping to trap
A decent pot sized bet. Fold to the all in. Even if you're the winning hand, it's a bad call. Early on, it's better to fold the winner than go home a loser. Live to fight another day.
