Default .50/1 AK unimproved in position against TAG, turn and river play

Hey all. Havnt posted a hand in a while so I thought I might get back into it.

Villan is 12.5/5.6/1.6 after 600 hands and is playing all 5 .50/1 tables.

Full Tilt 0.50/1 Hold'em (9 handed) Full Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

MP2 checks, Hero checks.

Checking here is obviously best in the cases Villan has a better hand than me, since he will show that better hand down. But In the cases he has AQ-AJ, KQ-KJs, I dont think checking is horrible. I likely dominate villin and he has few outs. If I bet I might lose him. If I check I might induce a bluff on the river if villan is stupid enough to try it since my hand is pretty obvious at this point.

MP2 checks
Dang. Do I check behind with unimproved AK? I dont think so.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 folds.

Final Pot: 4.75 BB

It didnt work out this time but I think, based on my read of villins hand, I did my best to get an extra bet by checking the turn and making what villin might sense as a bluff on the river. Please dont flame if too standard.
