Default AK - best line?

I have been sitting at the table for a while and have been playing aggressively and picking up quite a few pots w/o showdown. However, a few hands ago I bet QQ in a 4-way pot and everyone folded, and I showed my hand. (Don´t know why..)

Villain seems rather loose, calling lots of raises, but hasn't shown much aggression on his own part.

Villain instacalled my flopbet and instapotted the turn here.

1. What is my best line on the turn?
2. As played, what is my line now?
3. What are some likely holdings for villain?

He can certainly have a flush or a straight, but he can also have AJ, KJ, even AQ or AT.

I guess I call but it's going to suck if the river blanks and you don't know if you're ahead or not.

Call and CC river. It’s doubtful that he instapots the turn on a made 3rd NF. I personally think you played it just fine. My only question is if we should CRai here as we are ahead of quite a few of his hands and a diamond on the river kills our action.

As I’ve been on a variance reduction thing lately, I think I call and cc blanks, pot anything that improves out hand.

I would normally lead out on the turn with about $15 as a value bet. I think the check/call on turn is ok, but I fear any free draws or losing value.

As played, I would call turn and then c/c the river.

I just think you are ahead of more hands than you are behind (K-Q diamonds). It's possible you were beat on the flop but seems unlikely.

If you think you are ahead so often, why are you just calling down?

I lead $15 on the turn and push after a raise. You are likely to be ahead and have 11 solid outs when behind
