I would usually check river since I checked turn, and either c/c or c/r. I can't see what he can have besides KK/88, and a bad tag isn't pushing AK for value right? This line from bad players is always a monster IME, so I like a fold.

I think some villains shove AK for value here, though I agree this is KK a fair bit. Does 88 really call pf and flop that much?

I think I prefer check flop, bet turn to bet flop, check turn since I think it makes more from marginal pairs etc.

Preflop, definitly. Flop, maybe.

i would bet the turn nearly 100% of the time here?

It's a pretty poor spot to second barrel, so I would check this turn a lot without more info.

Agreed If his read is he's a bad tag were really beat and we can take him to valuetown.

i assume you mean it's a poor spot to 2nd barrel with air...doesn't that make it a great spot to bet for value with aa? i think op's line is fine fwiw.
