I have results shown because I won the hand and because I'm only wondering about my line. After seeing HMP's post I reckon I'll question spots like this more often.

Generally I'm putting an opponent on AQ+/JJ+ here. Occasionally TT. However villain is pretty fishy so I wouldn't put it past him to flat 77/88/99. I decided to assign him a range of 99+/AJs/AQo+ because I can't be sure how weak he is flatting but I judge it to be weaker than is standard.

So my initial thoughts OTF are that I probably can't bluff him off of his 6 combos of QQ with a single bet. AK has 12 combos none of which are folding. I feel these are the prime hands his range is weighted towards. So I decided to check back as my hand doesn't work as a bluff and I'm not sure if I can extract from TT and below. OTT I'm fairly sure he has a lower PP but I don't think I can extract 2 streets of value from any worse hands so I decided to check again and go for one street.

Looking back I think I can go for a street OTT that works to bluff him off his equity with AJ/AQ as opposed to letting him catch OTR. At the time I thought it wasn't unreasonable to think that he might X/C with AK because he is so passive. What line do you guys take here to maximize value?

To keep the pot small, to induce his air to bluff, and because there aren't that many turn cards that scare us. If I had 99 I'd c-bet.
