Same fishy villain in this hand, that I had in the AQ-hand just a few minutes before.
I felt like he would call my turnbet no matter what here. I want to know what you think of my sizings.
The river I had to call.

If you think they will call your turn raise no matter what - why bet? You only have K high and beat nothing, checking is better in this case. I would check the turn against most people, would hate to get shoved on as we would have to fold.

I think we can bet turn and barrel rivers if we see what kind of range he plays. He will have enough 5x 3x 22-99 and A4 A2 to make the 3 barrel profitable imo.

I like the turn bet with so much equity, you really don't need that many folds to make this profitable, and surely he's folding a non zero percentage. We also juice the pot for jamming the river either for value or as a bluff.

I think you played the hand well. Skipping the turn bet might be a consideration in some fringe situations against super loose passive players but betting is never going to be a big mistake simply because of how much equity you have in the hand.
