Default 20k FT hand... wtf to do

Hero was loose, but has tightened up since the final 2 tables
Hero is CO with AKo and 650k (im average in chips)
Villian is Button with 1.4 mil (next person has 1.1mil).
I saw him call a PFR earlier in the FT with KTs
blinds are 20k/40k
folded to me, I raise to 120k (normal raise), villian calls
flop comes Q66r
villian leads out 40k, hero raises to 200k, villian thinks for a bit and caalls
turn comes 9
villian check, hero ?? (650k in pot, hero is 325-350k behind)

I think this is a pretty standard check-behind. He's only calling if he has you beat. Sure he called preflop with K-10 earlier, but a preflop call is much different than a post-flop call. He's not going to put his chips in here with any hand you are ahead in my opinion.

I'd check behind a non-Ace or King river as well.

Check. If he has a piece he's getting 3:1, he's going to call. You need to spike an A or K and your hand will be good. Applying pressure here is spewing.

Does anyone push the flop? Paired boards miss far more than they hit and there is ~300K after villian's bet. A nice pot to take down. Otherwise, I might call the c-bet on the flop and fold UI to a turn bet.

so you think i should just call this min-bet here? I was really confused as to what I should do. I was thinking of shoving, but I thought he would think it was a bluff and call me with any pocket pair (I figured when it took him that long to call that he either had QJ or pp)

Beachman,

I don't think villain is going to fold any PP > 66 if played per your recc. What hands can hero realistically have that villain will be blown off, in this fashion?

I'd prefer to have 10bb and forfeit the hand. This would leave me in good position to steal blinds later.
