Villian seems pretty solid. I think he raises a lot of hands on the turn for value. I know my hand isn't good on the turn. Do you bluff the river? Stats are 20/3/3.5. Ugh 3 :/. Basically means he has exactly AK here.

If that was your plan going into the turn, raise more on the turn. That being said, you really dont have enough behind to do that either. You just dont have the stack to push him off, imo

I think a river bet is one of those, that can't win you any money. So I'd just check it through. Would UTG just call a raise on the turn and then check this river with AK? Maybe he wants to lure you into a bet, maybe he is afraid of the flush. I don't see too much reason to put villain on AK exactly, though. He basically shuts down when he meets resistance. Check and pray is my play.

How many hands do you have on villain?
Putting him squarely on AK is probably excessive, but the best A you can beat is A9, so check behind.

Trying to push villains off TPTK or better is not a great way to go about trying to beat SSNL. I would call the turn, and probably call a smallish river bet.
