Checks to hero?
Pot is $530. We have ~$630 left.
All of his busted draws are folding any bet.
You want to bet an amount that makes your range look the widest so he can call you wide.
As played, your hand looks like AQhh, AA, KK, JJ, KJ, AK, 77, and the rare 9Thh/QThh.
If you shove, he is calling you with 1 combo of JJ, and 2 combos of KJ. If he's a good 2/5 player, he might be good enough to fold 77 to your river shove this deep.
If you bet/call like $200, you probably capture his 77.
Here's a creative option that I mix in sometimes: Bet something stupid, like $60. He'll raise you with 3rd,4th, and 5th nuts (KJ, 77, J7) . AND, It may confuse him enough to shove over you with all busted draws. Maybe even confuse him enough to cry call with weaker type hands that he occasionally shows up with.
