XX TAG no real reads but think he had something, I did not want to shove to reraise so called and took it from there.
Not sure if he was defending his blind as I had raised a good number of buttons ( of course always with a hand), when the K hit I was prepared to call him down but the A on the turn was the last card I wanted to see. I think the fold was correct, not sure about pre flop and the flop should I have been more aggresive?

as you're on the button and you have already mentioned that you are raising your button regularly you have to 4 bet here. as you are raising position a lot your perceived range should be fairly wide so therefore his 3 bet range is wider than just AA and KK. also even if he flats your 4 bet you are in control of the hand and in position which is ideal.
as played fold turn looks fine but not sure why you're not looking to build a bigger pot with a big hand like QQ
As played you are beat and has lost the minimum but the villian could have a hand as weak as AJ at this point and would probably have laid down about two thirds of his range to a four bet.
The most important thing to consider when 4betting is his calling/5betting range. How likely he is to put more in postflop unimproved with the weaker part of his range that folds to a 4bet also is important. If this guy 3b/f stuff like AQ, JJ, TT (he shouldnt, its just an example) then calling is better than raising. Overall I would be usually 4betting here but it depends on dynamic and villain
Seriously, think about your reasoning. If we 4bet we want AJ to call
Dont raise to ask question, especially with limited reads, you generally get the wrong answer. If you reraise pre or raise flop its for value
What about the river if that is a blank he could have TT/JJ and on the river feel he is ahead so I could be facing a good size bet?
