Default tough turn decision vs krantz, HU 5/10 deep

Full Tilt Poker
$5/$10 No Limit Hold'em Ring Game
2 Players

HERO: $2647
Villain: $1662.5

<font color="black">Preflop:</font> A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($15, 2 players)
<font color="red">Villain raises to $30</font>, <font color="red">HERO raises to $90</font>, Villain calls $60

<font color="black">Flop:</font> Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($180, 2 players)
<font color="red">HERO bets $180</font>, Villain calls $180

<font color="black">Turn:</font> Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] ($540, 2 players)
<font color="red">HERO bets $444</font>, <font color="red">Villain raises all in to $1,397.50</font>

This is our first heads up match, neither of us have visibly gotten out of line.

-He (probably) knows I respect his game
-I misplayed a hand earlier in the match vs him, bad series of reads
(something like "i think my underpair to the board is good" and he ends up having fours full)
-He's not afraid to stick it in if he thinks its appropriate and I've probably demonstrated that as well

Up until this point I haven't two barrelled much with air.
Pretty torn as to what I should do here, at the time I thought it was a draw, or i'm completely dead kind of situation.

I don't see him doing this with anything you beat on that board.

I would c/f or c/r the turn. Really don't like your bet. Most of the time, I'd just c/f. He's not going to float you on this board.

KXd and 6Xd.

fwiw, CFing seems awful. Id definitely check the turn, with the intention to call or raise- no one ever has a hand heads up, it's very likely that this is a tough decision because his turn push looks strong, and he wants to convey to you a lot of strength in his turn push. obviously he can have two pair or something that has you beat, but there's a lot of combo draws and i get the feeling Krantz doesn't play nitty hu, so pelase don't dismiss and CF CF CF with top top here

Does he expect you to fold AA here? If yes, call. If no, fold.

you have to bet the turn because i think he checks behind all hands that he shoves that you are ahead of (i don't think he bets a strong draw here in other words)

easy call IMO his range is pretty wide here though it does include a bunch of hands you are losing to

if you don't want to play a big pot, then you probably shouldn't pot the flop and bet 80%+ on the turn

i agree with josh here...pot control? your bet sizes/the action pretty much name your hand...
i think a turn check is best and then a crai or a call...( i have no idea what his pf range for a $30 riase is) but youve gotta be ahead here
the turn bet seems kinda silly unless your gonna call his raise (unless you were bluffing which seems odd)
