Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.25/$0.5 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

UTG1 stats: 18/12/1.3/38

Preflop: Hero is UTG2 with A:c, K:h.
UTG1 raises, Hero 3-Bets, 7 folds, UTG1 caps, Hero calls.

Flop: (9.4 SB) 9:h, T:h, A:d (2 players)
UTG1 bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (5.7 BB) Q:c (2 players)
UTG1 bets, Hero calls.

River: (7.7 BB) 7:h (2 players)
UTG1 bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 9.7 BB.

Results follow:

Hero shows a pair of aces(Ac Kh).
UTG1 shows a pair of kings(Kd Kc).

Hero wins with a pair of aces(Ac Kh).

The opponent is a TAG and I think he would only cap the standard capping hands from early position. I decided to call flop/raise turn. Q on turn - AA and QQ beat me, AK splits the pot. I only beat KK at this point.

I think I should still raise this turn... ?

This is a wa/wb situation for me.
I would normally raise this turn, but the Q turn reduces your equity by a lot so i like a wa/wb line more after this turn since you're no longer a favorite against his range. You're also in position, so if he checks you can always get a bet in.
