I figure turn there's no reason to bet here simply because KK probably would have shoved (although I'd think AK would as well) and I'm pretty much beating anything he'd fold, so no need to turn our hand into a bluff. Turn is money card because barring JJ-QQ (both would need last 2 since one's on the board and we've got one) or AA, we now have the best hand. I don't expect AQ or AJ to be flatting a 4-bet.
In terms of image, I'd been relatively tight, ~21/19 that session, with a high att. to steal but no previous 4-bets, while he was 34/22 and making a ton of plays, att. to steal was 44% and 3-bet was 18%. He was a pretty solid player though. I almost shoved the turn but I wanted to give him a chance to bluff the river, as he was pretty aggressive. I'm not worried about the flush draw but there are a few scare cards that could come. The river bet also was effectively $51.45 into a $61 pot so not a huge overbet.
Mainly my question is the river play, on whether people would just check behind because no worse is calling, or whether they'd bet smaller to get action. If betting smaller are we calling shoves? Also the turn, anyone think that just shoving there or making a small raise is preferable simply because of the scare cards counterfitting our hand or else putting 4 to a straight out there?
