Villain is 40/15/2.8 over a hundred hands. I haven't been at the table long and have no read on him whatsoever. He saw me get my stack by valuebetting aces pretty strongly over three streets.

What is my river plan?

I think he reraises two pair on the turn almost all of the time. So I put him on some type of pair of kings mid kicker hand, maybe Kxs, Txs, or Axd or a poorly played diamond draw of some sort. With his range, the majority of hands that will call a river value bet that I beat won't call a very large one. But I have no reads on this guy and I dont think I want to induce a shove this deep. But I dont think I see a shove too often without the flush here so what kind of value bet should I be putting out here and how do I respond to a reraise.

I dont think you should be too worried about the backdoor flush. I'm guessing he has a lone King, or was on a diamond draw. In any case, I think we have the best hand for sure.. and I like checking to induce a bet. Depending on his bet size, either call or raise.

I like a check/call better than a bet/fold since the straight got there on the turn.

Worse 2 pair should bet, draws may bluff, and hands that beat you bet.

If we bet One pair hands are likely to fold...some weak aces may call. Flushes fold, hands that beat us raise.

I actually checked here but I felt like it was a little weak at the time since this guy had bad stats and might be a station. Looking back I have to agree its a perfect spot to induce a bluff or get a worse hand that I beat to bluff.
