NL100 6max - AK trying to protect TPTK

[dnord]

I have pretty much just sat down, but let's say I already have the stats I eventually got on villain: 30/10/2.5.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed)

CO ($119.15)
Button ($80.50)
SB ($55.30)
BB ($108.40)
UTG ($90.35)
Hero ($148)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $4</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls $3.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: ($9) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $8</font>, SB calls $8.

Turn: ($25) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $14</font>, SB calls $14.

River: ($53) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $29.30 (All-In)</font>, Hero...?

This is the first hand I've posted here, so be cool. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I didn't think about my river action much at the time, but it might be more nuanced than I think.

very easy call

Turn and River aren't helping him at all. I'm calling here unless villian is a total nit.

Your probably beat here a portion of the time but getting better than 2:1 and having the clubs miss makes this a pretty standard call.

[dnord]

I was mostly thinking "ALL IN? - he's been playing so passively, this could still be anything - probably a bluff" and not "look at all the missed draws - that's probably a bluff". But either way, it looks an awful lot like a bluff, so I called it. He flipped over AJ for the flopped straight. Folding never crossed my mind, but I think it probably should have. There are way too many two-pair, funky set, or straight possibilities (at least as many good hands as bluffs). But the missed clubs are something to think about.

The harder question for me is: am I calling on the end because it's an all-in? I think my game is probably a little leaky there. I think of this bet completely differently if his stack is still $80 and he puts $29.30 of it in. I always imagine that a river bet that includes his last chip is somehow a bluff.

So I don't call much more than $30, and I wonder if I call $30 if it's not an all-in.

the action i will probably end up taking is calling, the odds are just too good..

the reason i have for calling i can't decide on.. i think it's a combination between a worse TP or a bluff.. but they both point towards to call..

this may be a leak for me?

I check the turn, your hand really isnt all that great on this board and you are pot committed to call a river push.

I guess we need to call getting such good odds, but isn't our hand basically a bluff catcher here? To me, this doesn't look very much like K6 or worse. How is our hand any different from K2 or AQ here?
