It LOOKS like he had two pair or a set and just value towned you.
It's NL5 and people play really crazy and you get value from weaker aces but I don't think many people at this level raise their weak aces, they only do it with good hands.

I don't play FR and never have, but after being raised on the flop and the FD hitting on the turn, your line of c/r -> shove seems somewhat suicidal.

3bet preflop for value

and i actually think donk/fold turn might be best.

you are 200bb deep

If he raises you can give up putting him on a better hand, but if he calls you get a lot of information as well as value and can play the river optimally based on what card falls. If you go for the c/c you give him freebies and play a river blind.

unless you want to c/f which can be ok depending on what kind of range you put him on.

don't like check / calling so much unless he can be bluffing enough.

check/raising is probably your worst turn action choice

ok thank you. i didn't really have a plan when i C/R and i kinda overplayed the hand, anyways he had 99.

you underplayed the hand pf and overplayed it on the turn. that's not a good combo. you either slowplay it preflop and potcontrol at least a little bit with TP or you play it hard PF and play it hard postflop. because its so deep i don't really like playing for stacks on the flop and neither on turn. so just call turn and check/call river or make some 1/2 pot blocker or something.

check fold turn
if you didn't do that, check fold river
