Default bluff (?) vs. EM2

Villain is EM2. He probably thinks I am a crappy lag. I have run pretty good against him in the past few days, most notably when I double-barrel shoved a backdoor fd I picked up on the turn and got there on the river. He has been playing pretty taggy which I am not exactly used to since it seems like his style differs from a lot of the other good regs. Anyway, thought I could rep AK here and fold out JJ or QQ (maybe those shove the flop and I actually have the best hand?). I'm not sure if I normally bet the turn here if I actually have AK but since I picked up a draw I decided to check and decide after that. I feel pretty weird about this hand.

Don't really know.. Generally, it really seems like you need to have the K, when you're representing it on the turn because noone ever believes you. Don't know the play on Stars so, so maybe it's allright.

unless he knows you have a habit if trying to CR the turn i would just fire again on the turn.
as it played out i don't think you ever fold out QQ/JJ...however you are very likely to get a hero call from 99.

I dunno if you are bluffing or value betting and that's generally not good.

yeah sometimes you'll have the goods when he calls and sometimes he'll call with JJ QQ AT... but since I can only see 99 that calls and mucks I think it's a poor bluff, you should have bet that turn or check it down
