200 NL: AK TPTK oop facing resistance behind

no reads on this unknown villain. Given that he called my big flop raise behind and a few broadway cards came out on the board, i really wanted to slow down and proceed with caution??. What line do you take in later streets though? Also, should i throw out a blocking bet on the river?

Hero ?

c/f turn without a king. id suggest he has AQ here and didnt dare put a third bet in, by the turn you beat nothing and might split.

I'm skeptical to fold turn since villian doesn't know how to bet size. Let's see what he does on river.

ok, after taking passive line, i still checked on the river but this villain bet $40. Is this a clear fold or call based on good pot odds? Honestly, i really hate TPTK in this tough spot.

I call because he clearly doesn't know how to play. Unknowns who don't how to value also don't know how to bluff. So I put him on a range of stupid - some you beat, some you don't.

i had the same thought process in my head, called and lost to AQ. Really, i couldnt see any hands i beat but was tempted to find out what he had.:P
