NL30: AKs, Deep & OOP

AK oop has been giving me trouble at the deep stack tables. Does anyone play this different? Villain is new to the table so no stats or reads yet.

BB: $23.10
UTG: $98
MP: $57.60
CO: $54.45
BTN: $116.10
Hero (SB): $59.70

Pre-Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (SB)
UTG folds, MP raises to $1.05, 2 folds, Hero raises to $3.75, BB folds, MP calls $2.70

Flop: ($7.80) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero bets $5.50, MP calls $5.50

Turn: ($18.80) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero bets $12,

The turn is the last $ I'm putting in the pot unimproved. Does anyone fire a third bullet if villain calls turn and the river bricks?

From what it looks like it seems that MP has a Q, perhaps KQ or QJ and he will probably call a river bet if you miss any of your draws and check if he is also on a flush draw or something weird if you check first. If you do not improve I suggest just checking and giving it up, even if a K comes you should be a little worried that MP might have KQ.

I agree in that an A or K wouldn't be extremely comforting at this point and I would check the turn after the villan called on the flop and see what he does.

I like. And I too give up unimproved on the river. But its tough for him to call here with just a queen which is obv why I like it.
