Default Turned huge draw/TP - Villian c/r - Line Check

I think I played this one well but would like a second opinion on both the turn flat-call and river fold. Villian in this hand is a reckless and bad ego player. When I bet the turn he insta check/raises in that 'got you' way - I think most likely KQ/KT/QT, possibly a set, and maybe AJ - I don't think air is likely - he might also have something dumb like AK. If I hit on the river I expect to get his stack - if not I can re-evaluate. I miss the river and he bets less than half the pot. I still have TPGK but I think at the moment that it's pretty clear I'm good here less than I have odds to call, even though they're inviting. Agree/disagree and rest of hand ok?

Consider checking the turn to get that free river card. You have a lot of solid outs here. Whether or not to take this COA would depend on how I viewed my opponent, but it's a great way to control the pot size and give yourself a chance to improve to a hand worthy of a large pot.

No [censored] - I have a absolute monster! I bet the turn because I really want him to just call with two-pair or a set or a lower flush draw or AK etc. and then I hit and shove the river. I had never even thought anyone might suggest checking the turn. You really think it's a good play with these stacks against this villian? Of course if he shoves the turn I have a tough spot - time for calculators against his range with my gazillion outs.
