How should I have played this hand?
Preflop and flop are pretty normal.I guess I can check the flop with that combo, but on these limits I think it's just better to go for value. On the turn I decided to x/c and on the river I get too good of a price I guess. Ever folding? Should I have just barelled it myself?

He should have folded AQ on the flop. He is continuing AQdd here 100% and AQs at some frequency. Rest of the AQ should be gone from range but we all know its in there at a low frequency.
That turn is particularly bad due to QQ being in there more often than not. Suit sucks but we still have to continue vs 1/2 pot when we check. The turn also eliminates the best draw (can't have AQdd so there is very little Qx in his range).
So the Q hits some of his best draws KQ and QJ and he does have stuff like Axdd and this region of his range makes me want to bet this turn. I think he will want to check back stuff that has SD value and you still have QQ/KK/AA in your range.
This makes me think that his betting range is likely to be pretty strong.
I just can't see folding T or R here vs 1/2 pot and getting sick price on river.
Sometimes these types of hands seem like overplaying them since majority of Vs don't bluff too much. Maybe it would be better to bet the T myself. If so what sizing should I use? Maybe just bet shoving turn hoping to get called by worse. I sure he would sometimes have AJo there with a diamond. Very hard for his KQs and QJs, JJ. I have decent EQ vs his 2 pairs.
Honestly, if you plugged this into a solver, I think it will just bet flop and jam turn with this combo. We run into it sometimes but we also deny equity to stuff like JJ or AdXx.
I mean, look at the SPR. I honestly don't think there will be much EV difference between most any lines with KdKx here.
Even though you have good blockers to flushes and straights, I'd fold on these stakes. Very hard to find bluffs on this run out, especially for a tight UTG range and when he calls a big bet on the flop. Don't think you beat any value here either because I don't see AQ shoving river.
