1, 2, 5 game live straddle, 6 players.
Button is probably the best reg at this table, Tight aggressive applies pressure in position, hand reads well.
Action
folds to the button who makes it $10,
Hero has AA in the small blind makes it $30
BB folds, straddle folds, button 4 bets to $75.
Decision # 1
5 bet or Flat? I Flat.
Flop ($150)
T97 rainbow
Decision # 2
Check or bet? I donk $100, Button calls.
Turn ($350)
7
Decision # 3
Check or bet? I went all in for $325

5-bet smallish pre. Flatting the 4-bet is quite meh imo. In position you could consider some flats, but oop I think we should really put in another raise.
Post-flop looks too aggressive / strong. You may not get worse to call. On the turn he may even sigh fold JJ-KK. Maybe go slightly smaller flop, much smaller turn, then shove river for a fairly small bet. Or pot the flop, shove turn for well less than pot. I like leading the flop but don't like the size of turn shove. You solutions involve betting more on flop or playing 3 streets. More on flop is probably best. Pot flop, shove turn.

I flat flop without a dynamic here. 5bet is always AA.
Lead flop smaller. As played bet turn smaller.
I definitely lead OOP, but don't bet too big. You have sets in your range.

Hand is fine. Against lagtards and loose players I prefer 5!
I think he probably folds either way.

I mean, if he called turn you either got lucky and cold decked him or got unlucky and he cold decked you.
Checking flop is the most +ev play because you'll get cbets from hands that would never call a bet.

Since hero is OOP, I would put in a smallish 5!. If hero had position, then flatting would be fine.
As played, c/c flop and c/rai turn. If V called your turn shove with QQ (or whatever OOP that he has), then he is a terrible player.

You played it fine.
I'd have hade it more than $30 ($40? OOP, Dont want BB and straddle coming in cheap) on the initial raise and likely have 5 bet small hoping V would spaz shove AK, KK, QQ.
But you just called.
Flop, As played, I check here and let him bet, pobably flat call his bet, maybe raise/shove depending on sizing. If flat, probably check turn, give V a chance to stack off and if he checks, can bet river.
But, as played, doesn't feel like you made mistakes anywhere.
