200NL: AK vs Aggro player

[napkins]

Villain fairly loose and aggro, haven't seen him do anything too crazy though.

Do you do anything different here? I think I could have bet the river but the only hand I can beat here is KQ and it would suck to get c/r when I have some pretty good showdown value.

Hmm this looks very standard, I bet this river if it's not a spade as thats the most likely hand that you beat that he does this move with. If you bet and he goes over the top it's an auto fold and I don't really see what he will call you with when you bet.

I don't think he's ever expecting you to bet the river, so you can make a thin valuebet. But it's very thin and I would probably choke looking at the size of the pot.
