Default NL50: flopped two pair w/ AK vs. nitty villain

I kind of rediscovered poker recently and thought I'd begin to work on my NL game a bit (used to be a 6max LHE player).
So here we go:

Villains stats are 15/5/2.5 after about 300 hands. Very nitty ans straightforward player. Plays tight also in the blinds.


No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $57.81
CO: $24.57
Hero: $50.48
SB: $48.12
BB: $69.86

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $2</font>, SB calls, BB folds.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($4.5, 2 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $3</font>, SB calls.

Turn: T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($10.5, 2 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $6.5</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises to $17</font>, Hero calls.

River: 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($44.5, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB is all-in $26.37</font>, Hero ?.


I just can't put him on a hand that we beat. I don't think he'd call with AT even from the blinds and he probably wouldn't play so aggresively with weaker ace, but I've been wrong before. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
One possibility is that he read my smallish bets as weakness
and is pushing with some weaker hand but I really doubt it. It also could easily be a split.
Against a looser player I probably would've pushed the turn.

Is folding the river really bad?

You beat AT. You beat a busted flush draw. You beat a lot. I call 100%. If he's playing QJ or made a set then whatever that just sucks.

Call. I have a hard time believing a guy with those stats would play QJ that way. I don't think he's got a set, either, as 33 would have bet or CR the flop, and a nit would have folded TT on the flop. This smells like AT to me.

This situation sucks. I feel like I get shown 33 or QJs like every time here, sometimes AT also. Idk if I can't fold top2 but I'm not very good. I usually just chalk hands like this up as cooler though.

This feels more like a QJs type of hand or 33. If he views you as a blind stealer, he might have played these hands out of the blinds if he thinks you are raising light. Does villian 3 bet often?

well i dont understand why he would have 33 or QJ here but if hes nitty he obviously isnt bluffing when he raises the turn. I dont see AT here either. I guess hes a set miner and has 33.
