Villain is a mid 40's alpha male who has been the most active at the table by far. He plays about 80/20 preflop and I don't think he really cares about position. After the flop he pounces on any perceived weakness but will back off when pressure is put on him. Hero has been playing fairly snug but just went on a little heater the past orbit. Hero has 2100 to start the hand and villain covers.
Preflop: Villain limps UTG, hero rasies to 100 with K
Q
, straddle calls, villain calls. He has almost ATC at this point.
Flop is K

Checked to hero who bets 175, only villain calls.

Villain starts cutting out chips, then adds more....then adds some more, and finally comes out with 1000, 9 blacks and a stack of red. Pot was only 665 at that point.
Who likes a call, and who finds the fold button? Does your answer change if we have Q
in our hand? Was I lighting money on fire by checking the turn?
Thought's on all streets are appreciated.
