Check/call.

If you bet, he probably folds his air/floats and calls his better hands, even middling pocket pairs, given pot size in relation to stacks and the turn card being a blank.

If you check, he'll probably bet his entire range into to you. Too bad you have very few reads and don't know if he would float you here, but this is a very dry flop and is a decent spot for villain to stick around with worse aces or even air.

If you check/call and are behind, you almost always have 6 outs. That's obviously not sufficient in itself, but the 12% equity is very helpful here.

If you check and villain checks back, that strongly suggests he has a pair 33, 55-TT, a monster, or a J of some sort, likely average kicker. I doubt he folds any of those hands on the river. That means you are done with the hand and should give up on the river if you whiff and value shove if you hit. I guess you could ship a Q river as a bluff. I don't think he folds otherwise.

Check, reevaluate, but likely dumping it to aggression without reads. It's so rare that V's are floating AK/AQ and they won't fold anything that beats you with the turn card that fell.

Folds with ease.

Easy, if somewhat annoying, fold. You will be bluffed out here some of the time but not often enough to make calling worthwhile. You played it fine.

The only thing to consider here is flatting preflop sometimes. This is also annoying with AK, but raising pre bloats the pot with a drawing hand. If villain is stationary leaning and will not fold pre or on flop enough, then flatting is better. Deeper raising is better, but the over sized raises at low stakes make the raw big blind size a bit of an illusion, SPR is going to be very small on the flop if you reraise.

Make it bigger pre given position & image. x/f turn as played. If villain checks back jam any a,k,q,10 otr.

i quite like the idea of reraising big like 40, then shipping most flops
