Secondly, your line of raise flop may be fine, but lets compare. He bet $35 on the flop and $75 on the turn, because he thought he was ahead. That's $110 total.
If I raise the flop to $110 he may or may not call. If he doesnt call my flop raise I make less money than I did letting him bet the hand for me. If he calls, Im shoving the turn. Do you really think hes calling the shove with AT? Hes not a bad player. He just gets aggressive when he thinks hes ahead so why not let him think hes ahead and bet my hand for me? Your line would make it very obvious hes beaten. Of course if hes betting a flush draw, and I play it my way Im screwed, but I dont remember him doing that before.
After re-reading the hand I actually think calling the flop is better since you think he'll continue his aggression a lot and we don't want to blow him off the hand, but then I think we need to shove OTT. That's the only way to get his money in when he has a FD, and I think he'll have a hard time folding TPGK after getting over 1/3 of his stack in.
