Too agg on the turn or just right?

Just right.

What's he raising with that you're beating? A decidedly bad convoluted semi-bluff or second pair? If you are ahead, then he's a maniac and you're better off waiting for a better spot.

Nice hand.

Out of curiosity, what were the stakes? I think the turn bet has more value at lower stakes.

I play it the same.

You have to bet this turn. You have to fold to the raise agianst most opponents.
It's the whole betting the turn without outs idea.

is check calling down getting > 5:1 effective bad?
Could button have a lot of Pairs here we beat?

just curious..I'd say it looks good.
But what cold calls 3 bets PF ? that beats us AQs AJs TT

For the turn raise after the flop call, I don't think we're winning 1 time in 6.

yep i think TJ's line here is perfect. unless you have specific read on him as a tricky player, since this is a typical tricky player play, then the hand plays pretty easily exactly as you did it.
you do have to be wary doing this more than once or twice though, or people might take notice and try the same line on you.
