1/2NL- Best way to maximize value with FH 1/2NL- Best way to maximize value with FH

Typical passive 1/2 NL game at Foxwoods. Me and villian both have roughly 250 in front of us. Villain has liked to call a lot with top pair type hands, not the worst player i have seen at these limits, but definitely calls to much. That being said, I havent done anything out of line, and Im afraid if I apply too much pressure he might fold out some hands I can get value from...

I open hijack with KQss for 10, button calls, both blinds call

Flop:
KhQh5h

Checked to me, I bet 35, button calls, blinds both fold

Turn:
Kc

Whats my best line for the rest of the hand?

Thanks

Increase your bet size but not by a lot, $60 here seems good. Guarantees a call and sets up a fairly easy river shove.

Pot on the turn would be $105, and you would have $200 behind. Make it between $50 and $75 - give him perceived odd to chase a flush vs your AKKK, and let him call. Shove the river with your remaining $125-$150.

Checking here seems more likely to get a check behind than a bet, and anything he would possibly raise here he would probably reraise anyway (Nut Flush, AK, Kx, QQ, 55, AhQ/J/Tx).

The only way you get action on the river after you check this flop is if he hits his nut flush draw and puts you on a lower flush, but if he's got a NFD he's probably going to call on the turn anyway, and will fold the river if he misses.

In position I would give him a free card, hope he hits and then leads the river. OOP I think you've got to keep betting.

With this board it seems unlikely that an overshove would be read as weak, unless you're able to dial up a strong reverse tell that would convince him to call.
