Hey, been lurking around for a while now, and decided might aswell post few hands myself.

No any meaningful reads of villain, I raised his flop bet, thinking he migh donk hands 8x Tx and draws here, turn was terrible for my range, but he checked and I barreled, thinking check could be better as there is pretty much only lower aces I could get value from

.

Actually if we want to split our AQ into calls and raises then we should put AQ with diamond into raising range because... it has more equity and diamond on turn is not as bad.

I would bet smaller on turn. This is fish and you want to make sure he is still calling his aces.

I would min raise with my entire range on the BTN. With the Q♦: in the hand as blocker you're hand need not to much protection on the flop. That would be a reasonfor me to just call. You could end up in a realy tricky spot if you face a 3bet on the flop. Turn play seems pretty standard. Sizing could be smaller, but if villain is fishy I wouldn't mind a bigger sizing for value.

Cheers,
