ugh, you have to bet that flop ~12-16. As played, preflop, turn is fine, but flop is a huge fundamental blunder. C-bet here.

I think a good "rule" (rules are meant to be broken) to be followed is to bet AA on every flop. In this case, You bet AA cause you are likely to have the best hand. Betting here is a value bet. Check/calling then checking the turn shows a huge amount of weakness. You are very prone to be pushed off the best hand by any pocket pair.
As played I fold the turn, but I don't like it.

Bet the flop, Bet the turn. Slow down if you get called twice. Fold to a raise.
