Default Tough Spot w trips 2/4

Villan is ZeKGB. I don't have a lot of history on him, but he is at a couple of my tables. Earlier I reraised him w KK and he called and check raised me all in with T8s on a 279 board. THat's my only read. SB in the hand is a complete donk, and I was not concerned with him.

I reraise here preflop 90% of the time, this was 1 of the other 10%.

What hands does he check call on the flop and lead the turn that we could possibly be ahead of here?

you're behind 55 and the flush but ahead of most aces. problem is you still have SB to act here too.

i probably call hoping for board to pair or a Q. Might fold to a shove if i don't connect.

Kind of fun to be the villain in a hand and having no idea what I had. Will be interesting to find out when I get home.

In Hero's spot I'd say you are rarely ahead but IRL I am rarely able to find the fold button.

Call. Hopefully improve.

If you don't, you can probably fold safely to a river bet.

KhKx seems very possible. Then again, so does AK; a lot of people would be afraid to pop flop b/c of obvious big hand with AA on board. Check calling then leading turn, especially with surmounting fear of 4 flush on board killing trips, is a likely play with AK.
I think calling is a good play. If he bets river you can fold unless you improve.
If a heart comes and he checks hes probably got Ak and you might be able to represent flush and get him off the better hand; if he checks with no heart likely had the KK and probably check unless you think hes stubborn/curious to call small bet with KK--seriously doubt a cr bluff here on river.
