Default Re: 200NL AK 3b pot oop, river decision?

Okay, I don't understand this thread at all. Maybe that's why I'm breaking even for a bunch of hands, I don't know.

First of all, this is a button open vs blind reraise hand, which make both ranges pretty damn wide.

Second, why would villain believe Hero has gotten any part of this flop? He could be calling with any of his midpairs, Jx hands, draws, or hopes and dreams of running some weird bluff line.

Turn: I'm torn between betting and checking here. We've got TPTK in a re-raised pot, so it's obvious that we can't just let go. Stack and pot size are such that we could give villain real attractive odds to call us down and still get our stack in. Or we could hope he tries to bluff us out or valuebet a worse hand, and get his stack that way. The problem is that right now, our hand looks pretty good. But any T or higher, and 7 or lower will make this board look very ugly.

River: as played, I can't imagine folding to this bet. This could be any two cards that called flop for whatever reason, checked turn because they got scared, and are trying to buy the pot on half price on the river.
