Villian is realtive unknown. When he calls my PF raise I put him on PP or two face cards.

I'd raise the flop to see where I'm at in the hand and get more value from J/A. The way you've played it is safe but if villain has the case K here I'm probebly going broke every time. You should raise either the flop or turn to a psb. If he calls, shut down and try to see a cheap showdown and if he folds it's fine too.

raising the flop is bad because it'll fold out the hands we want to stay in the hand and bluff, and when he does have a K, our raise loses money for no reason.

I like the flop and turn, because the board is really scary. I raise the river, though. If he has a smaller PP, esp. JJ or 66, he will call.

strongly consider raising river. See Zeebo theorem.

I don't see him betting the river like that with the case king. Raise.

I call(check essentially) flop, raise turn and given river card bet/raise river.

That river card was good any PP will call a river raise.

villan has a small PP trying to cheaply hit his set IMHO or drawing to something and wants to see showdown.
