Thanks CardsChat for the freeroll money. Starting to play around with 2NL on ACR a bit. I took a weird line and created a fun river spot. Thoughts?

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♥ K♠
UTG raises to 2 BB, CO raises to 4.5 BB, fold, Hero raises to 15 BB, fold, fold, CO calls 10.5 BB
The min raise from UTG already set this hand up to be different. CO has maniacal aggression but he did fold to my first 3B and we only have 76 hands so it's unclear how much he's thinking, maybe a smidge. After UTG min raise and tiny 3B it didn't seem necessary to go huge on the 4B.
Flop: (33 BB, 2 players) 6♠ A♥ J♦
Hero checks, CO checks
Flop sucks bad for my particular hand but crushes my range. I've been playing uber nit since I have no roll though, something like 18/9 with 3B of 5 so I'm not sure how much AQ+ V will put in my 4B range. I kind of expect him to stack off pre with AK though. I usually range bet here around 1/3 pot but given our V with AF of 7 I opt to x/c flop and eval. If he has Ax he's never folding and we are stacked. He's capable of raising flop with no Ace as well which would put us in a horrible spot. Just seemed at the moment like if I cbet small and got raised I would over fold.
Turn: (33 BB, 2 players) 4♠
Hero checks, CO bets 24.5 BB, Hero calls 24.5 BB
Was very surprised at the flop x back. Then the large turn sizing. Check here is also very questionable. After we x twice we pretty much never have Ax unless it's AA. I figure my x will induce value bets from QQ, TT- and whatever air he can show up with. Given our line I think we have to call here and eval river. Against this V I think we need to maximize against his weaker hands to make up for the times he shows up with Ax or JJ but I'm probably leveling myself.
River: (82 BB, 2 players) 5♥
Hero checks, CO bets 122 BB and is all-in, Hero?
Run out seems fair enough for a 4B pot. Given our line I think we have to x again and eval. V jams and we have less than a pot sized bet left. We have induced the widest possible range against the most aggressive player at the table perhaps for some of the wrong reasons. How often can we call down here? Not loving either option. With only 76 hands it's not crystal clear what V shows up with there. I expect to see some AJ, JJ, 66. I kind of expected other Ax to probe flop though so I'm not sure which combos he's checking flop with then stacking off turn and river. I guess A5s got there too. I'm sure no one plays it post flop this way but given the line are we calling down or no?
