$50nl - KK against a limp/call range

Villain is 22/5ish and kind of passive. I have multiple (3+) notes of Villain limp/calling any Ace and some random suited cards from EP and MP.

Button ($52.90)
SB ($61.70)
BB ($49.25)
UTG ($50)
MP1 ($54.90)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Khttp://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...iles/spade.gif, Khttp://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...miles/club.gif
1 fold, MP1 calls $0.50, Hero raises to $2.50, 4 folds, MP1 calls $2

River: ($28.75) Qhttp://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...miles/club.gif (2 players)
MP1 bets $12, Hero dot dot dots

I think I'm behind his range here since I can't think of a single hand I beat besides like Jacks. Am I missing something?

Yeah after flop action it seems his most likely holdings are FD / Ten / overpair (or better). The river lead doesn't exactly scream "jacks" so I think it's farily likely that his FD came in, his QT hit, he got tired of slowplaying his set or some 2pr hand that beats you.

clubs and j9 hit so ill give it to him

I like every street if you fold river

yep, a weak standaard game is still a winning won at 50nl/100nl

why not bet turn

Doesn't a turn bet pretty much commit us? If so, is that what we really want?

I felt like the only hands I could get anymore value out of after the Ace fell were Tx one-pair type hands and hands where he misses his draw on the river but bluffs or bets his one-pair. So instead of building a big pot on the turn when it's going to be hard for me to tell what to do on the river, I let him take all of those one-pair hands to the river. I give up some equity by letting him draw to 9+ a portion of the time, but in exchange I keep the pot small and avoid making huge mistakes on the river.

If I bet the turn then I'm representing like an Ax hand that bluff raised the flop or a set or the occasional AT and it's going to be really easy for worse hands to fold at that point besides draws. I give up getting value out of the draws for one street for getting value out of them on the river sometimes and getting value out of other hands I beat on the river sometimes, and I think this part balances itself out. Where I feel I really gain by checking the turn is the times that he already has me beat and I get a lot of money in behind. Checking the turn avoids that while keeping my other considerations for value roughly the same.

Okay I hope that makes sense.

same thought on checking the turn, blows off a lot of hands we beat, but lets draws come in cheap
