1.You have no read other than he appears aggressive preflop.
2. He 3bet you when you were BTN, his 3bet range is much wider here.
3. You flopped TPTK.
4. Bet turn.

im betting this turn almost always, and if i dont, i would be shoving the river for value.

the reason i didn't bet the turn was his sneaky serbian-jew double check on the flop after he 3-bets. the flop is perfect for him to c-bet and he decided just to check/call. i became suspicious after he did that. i wouldn't have played my hand any differently, i just wanted to be sure about the river play. when he bets 40$, i threw up, because it looked a lot like AK/JJ so the odds for calling were compelling. i guess he can have like AQ here once in a while.

so nothing wrong with calling here all of the time?

lol @ even thinking about folding river. I think turn check is okay, but not at all for the reasons you stated. Also, I 4-bet this preflop the vast majority of the time.
