Bet the turn?

If you are sure he is on a FD make him pay, unless you expect him to bluff the river if a brick comes off, you aren't gonna get value for your hand.

I agree , as standard I double barrel here.

My " nitty early , no reads on players/ so much donks early in a tournament " style , made me slowplaying my TPTK at turn , just for potcontroll and getting actiong from weaker A/maybe busted draws at river.
If I double barrel , I build the pot close to an AI vs donkeys.

Not sure , I play alot like this early and vs completly unknown player .

Leak , missing value ?

Def a leak, def missing value, if he has you beat you'll hear from him. TPTK=nuts until shown otherwise, and a call on the flop is very far from being shown otherwise. I would, however, be bet/folding the turn, and I'd c/c if the turn was a spade. I don't think villain is gonna c/c the flop then raise the turn with a non-nut flush draw, and there's no way AQ is raising the turn, so I think you could fold and feel good about it. It's the classic spot of lots of hands you beat will call a bet but a lot of those hands will just check behind, and you're not doing so well against the ones that do bet.
