$5 rebuy/$5K KQo Open from CO

CO: $12454 (Hero)
BN: $11040
SB: $20718
BB: $17230
UTG: $34121
UTG1: $28691
LJ: $12300
HJ: $21115
Preflop ($600.00) (8 Players)
Hero was dealt Q K
UTG folds, UTG1 folds, LJ folds, HJ folds, Hero raises to $955, BN raises to $2200, SB folds, BB folds, Hero calls $1245
Standard open from CO - BT and BB are regs with very low 3 bet % but both very aggressive post flop, SB is a rock. When BT raises me I'm getting way over 4:1 to call even though I am op I think it might be just be a BT defend against a perceived steal
Flop ($5000.00) J J T (2 Players)
Hero bets $2700, BN calls $2700
I'm not convinced he's that strong and now I'm open ended so I raise the flop and when he flats I'm a little alarmed. I guess it's possible he has a J but more likely a gutshot or 10
Turn ($10400.00) K (2 Players)

Now I have TPGK and I'm still open ended. I have just over 7k back. Hero?

i fold pre,  to play oop vs a agg postflop reg seems "not much fun" most of the time ;)

on the flop i'd c/shove if he cbets often (which i assume when hes very agg post)

as played on the turn c/shove

what? ofcourse i open, but i fold to his 3b, 

like i said, playing oop a bloated pot with kqo vs a postflopagg reg is far away from easy if we dont flop the nuts

I guess you're right but we're getting really great odds to call. If it was a very tight reg that would be different. But I know that is a leak of mine....calling 3 bets op with mediocre hands.

This hand is a good candidate to 4b as a bluff but doesn't play that well in 3b pots oop specially being offsuit. Post I am ok with the lead since he has very few Jx in his range but if you are going to put KQ as a bluff (which is fine) I think you need to bet larger, close to 4k to make your range a bit more polarized. 

The problem of the K turn is that he is calling AQ OTF and now he is never folding. I would try to showdown my hand against 99, for example.
