another thing about turn bet being mandatory is that when u check turn bet river on a blank i think it opens u up to getting c/r too often as well. betsize should def be very small as sauce pointed out imo.
I agree that our hand is face up. I'm kind of torn though, because I don't think he'd expect us to check back AK on the turn, so he doesn't think we have that probably.

At the same time, KQ and QQ are both very much in our range, after we take this line.

I agree with max that this is a dumb spot/line to take by villain here as a bluff, so he probably backdoored us with something.
