    $150 Fo on stars, my image is important I feel so here are the prev 2 hands. (blinds are 150 300)

    Hand 1 I raise and take the blinds.
    Hand 2 UTG who is loose aggro preflop makes it 850. I make it 2400 with QJs. He checks the flop and I move in for 6k, he folds.

    Hand 3 I get AKo and make it 900. The button calls. The flop is 24Tr. He has 4k. Who bets here? I checked thinking I had close to 0 folding equity. Turn 4 I check he bets 1500. Who moves in/calls here? I thought I was probably ahead (60%?) but that I was getting called by any pair. I folded anyway thinking I had a stack to protect.

    Hand 4 - This is about 2 orbits later. Not much has happened in the mean time. I now have 10k, the button from the last hand now has 5k. Folded to me and I make it 900 with AT. The sb, who was the button calls. The flop is xTJr. He checks - who bets here and who checks. If you bet do you call a reraise all in.

    hand 3 i play it the same... but this hand (edit: and the previous two hands) set you up for the next one.

    so hand 4, i make make a raggy continuation bet and call the all-in.

    I think I follow through for about 1100 on the AK hand. Actually I follow through on the flop for sure. If he pushes then fold.

    The AT hand I bet about 3/4 the pot when he checks to me. This should get through considering how you played the AK hand. If he pushes then I think I fold, depending on what sort of player he is. If he's an aggressive player and there is a flush draw out there with the JT I might call an all in here, but it all depends on the player.

    EDIT to include I don't think that your image is too important in these hands. You haven't shown any bluffs, and this is what tends to stick in people's minds. I don't think anybody would have pegged you as particularly aggressive from the way you've played the previous hands.

    Usually I bet the flop with hand 3. Why zero fold equity? Most of the time you're ahead here, you think he's going to try and take it off you close to 100% of the time?

    But given the way you've played hand 3, I think a check on the flop is better on hand 4. You've told him on hand 3 that you're not making automatic continuation bets with ace-high. So if you bet he's unlikely to bluff-raise or call with a worse hand than 10s.

    If you check you have a good chance of inducing a bluff (or a bet with a worse hand) on the turn, and maybe keep the pot smaller if you do happen to be beaten.
