I tend towards folding here, his aggresion looks pretty high so we will get bluffed here sometimes, but he will have so many Ax combos here that I think if we call with KK we are bluffcatching too much. We also have enough Ax combos ourselves to call here imo.

I'd just go ahead and muck it here, they W$SD is pretty high and we have the Kc to block a few draws they may be bluffing with. Expecting to see an ace fairly often and if they are even thinking a little, I don't think they should expect you to fold any PP here if they were bluffing.

When I check behind flop, I usually have JJ, QQ, KK or Ax with a fairly weak kicker, AT, AJ.

Indeed villain's wtsd is low and he is winning a lot at showdown, however if he wants to take value from a pocket pair or from a weak ace, why he bets pot turn and pot river... This looks strange to me...

This looks pretty much like AK here mate. Or AQ, pretty easily, just muck. Gotta let it go.

Am I crazy for wanting to fold the turn? In my opinion his turn sizing is pretty telling. Not really that he has value or he's bluffing but I think when he pots turn you'll see a river bet a very high % of the time. So I think fold turn or call turn call river (on decent runouts) and the 2nd option seems thin.

I agree with KDJ that we are not happy at all on the turn due to his sizing. However I do think that folding at this point would be a little too weak. The problem with the line we have taken is that it is turning our hand quite face up, and if he is a thinking player it is entirely possible he is turning a worse hand into a bluff to get us to fold the JJ-KK part of our range. Despite this possibility I think I click fold here, calling seems very thin versus his sizing.

Maybe I tend to complicate things and I level myself.
This time I called. His bet pot turn and river looked suspicious. He had QdJd...

Really important to note that player now that he can be bluffing in that type of spot and chooses that type of sizing. You can look to induce a lot of bluffs in similar spots in the future.

I like folding too.

Villain will expect you to bet your Ax when he checks the flop, and when you don't he can go for two streets of value against secondpair type hands which don't often fold for two bets at these stakes, even big bets.

Otherwise it looks like he might have wanted a check raise on the flop with a monster and is now just going for it.
