is it possible that he's trying to get a cheap showdown with a dumb hand like A8 and he just wanted to make it past your first continuation bet? It's hard to fire another continuation bet from out of position with a board like that, so he might just be playing position really well. It's either that or he is baiting you into going over him hard. without a read on the player it's hard to put him on AK, but I really doubt he has 2pr or his turn bet would have been higher. It's those soft turn bets where the questions really come out!

occasionally I re-raise and sometimes I just call PF. Just to alter my play. Flop bet is mandatory IMO. Turn is a lot harder. With reads this would naturally be easier but now.. ugh. I think I would also check but that doesnt really give you any info. He could be betting with anything here.. To find out how much he really likes his hand I would perhaps bet 2/3 of the pot or so. If he still calls I would play the river really carefully. If he re-raises you big I wouldnt take my chanses here and would fold..
But I have to say I really have doubts about the small, under 1/3 pot turn bet of his, that doesnt really make sense to anything else but for KQ=straight.. or it is just a weak attempt to steal.
