Default TPGK facing small c/r from strong player

Villain in this hand is 2p2er Olgi, he runs about 22/18/5 over 700 hands. His flop AF is 14.5 (wow!!). Before this session I hadn't played w/ him for a long time so I don't really remember any history (if there is any?). This session we played one hand where he he raised in the CO and I called otb w/ 87cc. Flop came K25hh. He made a small cbet and I called. Turn came 7o, he bet like 2/3 and I called. River was check/check and my sevens beat his 6 high . At this table I'm pretty sure I had been playing more aggro than normal but I'm not sure what I was running at.

I'd probably call and see what happens. I am slightly worried that when I advocate this line, what happens is that they raise the turn. Anyone got a better suggestion?

I'd probably fold preflop.

As played, he probably has at least a draw and more likely a pair + draw minimum, then 2pair or a set, testing you to see where he is at. 2 high cards on the flop and he has no fear in check-raising an UTG raiser, you are beat here more often than not.

I'd just fold the flop.

You raised utg, c-bet into a coordinated king high flop in 2 other people. You're showing strength so far.
You're not very far ahead of his draws.

He sounds like the type to double barrel, and a lot of cards you can't call a large bet on the turn.

Call and re-evaluate turn. Fold, if he bets the turn. Check behind if he checks.

With Kil said. I prob call with AA since then there are more KQs in the deck. I guess though if we are folding KQ then AA could also conceivably be a fold.

Push?

Depends if you had the ace of diamonds or not. The relative value of the hand isn't that much different, but your equity is quite a bit stronger.
You have much better equity against KT and JQ, for example.
