Villain is 24/16/8 over 70 hands. I was fairly sure he wasn't firing QdQx here or anything similar. He is aggressive enough that he is betting any draw OTF. That narrows his range to pretty much any A, right?

Not sure why you're not 4betting this pre? I am 4betting Kings every time. He's unlikely to have the flush here as he didn't bet the flop. At the same time, I'd have imagined a cbet with a strong A here. The fact he didn't makes me thing he's playing it cautious because he doesn't have the Ace.

That said, I've taken a bit of a break from poker and my knowledge needs fine tuning again. Though I do know you should be 4betting this pre every time.

Yeah I would usually 4bet 80% of the time in this spot, it's ok flatting his 3bet sometimes if you think he's aggressive enough to multi barrel you though.

I wouldn't be folding OTR, I think your check OTF probably induces bluffs vs an aggressive player and for half pot on the turn and river I think I'd be calling here, especially if his 3bet% is high.

Personally I would 4bet kk here all the time. Can't risk seeing an ace and getting pussed out later.

AA though I might flat IP against certain opponents , usually Argotards who autoput you on AK when you just flat 3b and thinks they are value betting against Ace high.

Btw, call... QQ or JJ likely

Reason I flatted was that his 3-bet is high enough for him to be bluffing here. I wanted to keep those bluffs in. I definitely think he can bet turn with worse, but I can't think of a hand that he is checking the flop with that is good enough to bet two streets with. If he bets turn because he feels that I can call with Kdx then he is better checking the river. Makes me assume he is planning to X/R the flop, which means his range obviously beats me. Either that or he has a medium strength PP that can make me fold a slightly stronger PP. Still doesn't explain a flop check though. The only scenario I can see myself winning in is if he is bluffing with something like 66/77. Problem is he would bet the flop with them.

4bet pre.
I play it the same postflop although the river is real close due to his sizing and flop check a weak ace would make sense. Strange spot to bluff the river though I've a hard time putting him on any good bluffing hands but we need to be good 25% of the time to make the call.... meh I probably fold but could go either way.
