UTG is a TAG who doesn't fold much to 3bets.
i just couldn't figure out what size i should bet the turn after he checks again.
should it be small to induce a shove or should we just jam here?
and if we choose the size i did, can we ever fold to a shove??

Looks standard to me. I don't think you can really play this any other way. The turn size is fine. I assume he folded as we don't see a river, and if that is the case then you just have to remember... Sometimes you will flop the goods and he will have nothing.

I think a smaller bet on the flop is good. We have range advantage and position so a range bet works really well.

When we miss or have have TT, QQ it puts villains hands in a tricky spot. Then polarise on the turn.

I agree with Gabe that we can go a bit smaller here on the flop, but it's definitely nitpicking since this is otherwise a fairly standard hand. Besides that I like the line and the sizing.
