50 NL KK tough spot on river

Appoligise if this is standard but I was really torn what to do on the river.

Villian is 18.75/6.15/2.00
I hadn't seen him shown down anything out of line.

Villian used most of his time before river bet. My gut told me I was beat. Is this an easy laydown or do I just have a bad case of MUBS?

More on the turn. River is a meh...guy is TAG. He played it sort've like a set. I think a Q makes a move somewhere in this hand, though I'm not really sure. I would probably call in the heat of the moment, but folding might be better.

How much on the turn? I didn't really want the pot to get too big, though I guess that didn't really matter.

Sometimes betting not enough is worse than checking behind here. Bet 2/3 (Id make it 10) on turn.

I also don't think this is an 'easy' laydown, though you'll see hands like 67 which just got there fairly often.

I would have bet 10-11 on the turn

as played I fold here

I would fold this river too against this tight of a player. But I'm not convinced that it's the right move since it's hard for me to put him on a hand.

I do think that you should have bet more on the turn.

Then again if he's tight, how could he have a 6 in his hand if he called your preflop raise? He probably wouldn't have made it to the river with 66 or A6s. Actually he might have called the flop with 66 thinking you have overcards, and then he'd almost have odds to call on the turn with the OESD.

He could have a bizarre slowplayed set of 5s or 7s. The backdoor flush draw seems unlikely unless he has KhQh or AhQh. A two pair hand seems unlikely on this board too.

I guess the weirder the river bet is the more likely we should be to call since the chance of a bluff increases. But I think I would have folded at the time and not been happy about it. Usually when I call a PSB in a big pot on the river my opponent has me destroyed.
