Villain stats are 70/40/4
What should I have done differently here? I thought he was holding AK, so I was trying to extract more money on the turn and river. He ended up having AT.

Flop raise is fine, no need to blow him off his hand. On the turn Im getting the rest in. You already have 5.2/13.55 in so you have a good amount less than a psb going into the turn. Hes not folding a king and hes obviously not folding a weaker queen.

Raise more on the flop - make it 5 or 6.
Push the turn.
Embrace the variance.
Reload.
Punish villain.
Get stack back.

Please explain your logic for making it 5 or 6 on this flop. 4 allows the stacks to go in very easily and there is nothing to protect against other than JT. And with JT, let him hit his ace, that will be a fun spot. I think a bigger raise does nothing but give the villain a chance to go away when we should never give him that option.
