Default AKo, tough board, tough reg

Villain is 21/16 over 340 hands. Aggressive player.
What do you think of this play? Please comment as played, and what changes you would make...

I had a couple reasons to check the flop. Can you see my case? Do you think a flop bet is mandatory?

I don't play 200NL but betting the flop seems like a must.

You played it well, flop check is fine. Have to call down afterwards and not too much value in raising.

Well folding is obv not right. he can be vb AQ/AK and theres a lot he can be bluffing, as your hands obv doesnt look too strong.

Pushing is vaughly interesting, but thin at best. I think you're slightly behind his calling range (TT,JJ,AK,AQ) and for all the times he calls the river shove with KK, he'll turn up stupidly with AJ or 22.

So I cant see anything but calling to be good

Really? It just looks like a lot of turn cards will scare us. Are we checking here for pot control?

Only 3 K's scare us, and still not *that* much.
