calling down you just never know where you stand. bet on the flop and see what happens

[/ QUOTE ]

Betting to find out "where you stand"? Um... no.

Especially here, because where you stand is way ahead/way behind. In general, betting is fairly useless in this type of situation because you fold out worse hands only, and you don't want to play a big pot.

OP's line is fine, river call or fold is a tossup.

i'd fold river if i played it like this, but i'd bet the flop for value, then check the turn, and bet the river. you want 2 streets here (that doesnt contradict my river fold btw)

Wait a minute, don't you have AA in a 3bet pot? I thought bet flop, shove turn was super standard here? Are we that afraid of AK? Am I missing something? Ok, enough questions.

My logic was that I would get more value by letting him catch up a bit, and that the turn prolly didnt help him, so by checking I would be able to induce more bluffs.
Would people like betting out on the flop more if it was KKQ or KKJ?

I like your line. If we bet here we are going to loose much money to a possible K and gaining less from weaker hands. If we Check/call here we extract more value out of weaker hands and loose less to a K.
