Villain is 46.99/8.43/1.75 over 83 hands.
Just earlier, I stacked villain on a four card straight board when he had KK.

Comments on all streets appreciated. Does villain ever have air or a hand we beat here to make a call +EV? What can we put him on?

Flop - best option is to bet out to protect your hand from flush draws...as played though I prefer a check-raise to a check-call.

Turn - at this point just calling is fine in hopes of getting to a showdown cheaply.

River - fold looks good because its especially tough to put him on a hand with your passive play. With that board though, I think you are behind too many hands in his range to justify a call.

You are behind all of the obvious hands. i hate calling raises preflop with KQ--OOP it is deadly.

even if he is donk betting (not likely) you can find a better place to stack him again.

I play it the same. Turn might just be a muck though.
