I commented on the KK hand about your flop bet size and now you see the effect of the bet size as a caller. Villain is cbing over 75% pot into 2 people on this board in which the relative hand strength of a tpgk type of hand ( qko for example) is rather low. So a very big bet on this flop where tpgk type of hands are very often not good or if they are , they often won't be on the river , forces a semi aware villain to continue with only very strong made hands/draws. If you have something like aqo here without a heart , and you are forced to call a 2.40 bet into 3.10 on the flop, how confident are you that: 1) you have the best hand now 2) you will still have the best hand on the river if you call and 3) you will have the best hand on the river and realize this without having to call off your stack until showdown.
So since we are forced to continue with a very narrow range of very strong hands/draws and fold the majority of our range on the flop , raising with all our continuing range is fine. My continuing range on this flop would look something like this: qHxh, sets/straights/ Ahqx, axqh, qhkx, qxkh, qj, ah10h,ah,9h, j8s,q8s , kh,9h. kh10h, ahkh. On this turn i would shove fhs/straights/ qj/my flush draws that i raised with on the flop and check behind aq,kq with 1 heart .
