Effective stacks $60, hero doesn't have significant read on villain.

UTG opens $1, villain from UTG +1 makes it $5 and it's folded to hero in BB with AcAs who 4 bets to $15 and only villain calls.

Flop ($34.50): Kc QC Ts. X-x.

Turn ($34.50): 5d. X-x.

River ($34.50): 3h. X-x.

That's not true. You 4! You don't 4! with KK QQ or TT? You'd better! Especially KK and QQ. And you should 4! with KQo. It's a 4! or fold hand.

AA only becomes a bluff catcher when V lets you know it's a bluff catcher. V didn't do that. V fell asleep.

Checking the flop isn't terrible, but you shouldn't do it. Checking the turn afterwards is bad. When you lose value like this your win rate is demolished.

Why would he be checking flop, river and turn with a set or two pairs?

Bet somewhere. Probably the flop, at the very least the turn.
