True, I could use some help here.
 
Okay, so I've been reading a couple posts by True. He recommends checking some flops with strong hands after you have reraised to balance the times you check the flops with AK so you don't have to double barrel alot. I think I got his theory right. But does it apply to this hand?

And if so, did I play it correctly?

This was my first orbit at the table. Literally, my second hand.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG ($415.05)
Button ($546.15)
Hero ($396)
BB ($202.15)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $14</font>, Button calls $14, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $44</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls $30, Button folds.

Flop: ($106) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $65</font>, Hero calls $65.

Turn: ($236) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $125</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $361

Edit: I also realize I should've reraised bigger.

why not check/raise and fold to a push. as played u got NO idea if ur beat. lotsa times AT calls pf here and whys he to not think hes good when u check/call. u could def be calling with AKd AQd here and he may think his AT or something is good. c/r flop. as played u got no idea where ur at.

how is this good. he leaves himself absolutely NO way to know where hes at. this is retarded. why reraise preflop if ur not going to even play ur hand post flop?

This spot sucks ass. I probably play it the same but I'm not sure if that is any good.

check raising the flop is god awful

If you call with AT here, move down. If villian called with AT, he's not double barrelling here. Looks fine to me, as long as youre firing the flop some too.
