Hero has been playing in a lot of pots recently, losing one earlier to V, but recently doubling up with AA vs another villain.
V is middle aged lady: loose/passive, seems to overvalue top pair type hands. Buys in short, but been on a roll today.
1 limp, H(EP) raises $20 w/AJo, 1 call in MP, V calls in LP, limper folds
Flop K7Kr ($60)
H bets 30, fold, call
Turn As ($120) (bd spades)
H checks, V checks
River A ($120)
H bets $100
Question is this a standard check on the turn, to barrel blank rivers?
I think a turn barrel narrows down the calling range to a king, folding out smaller pockets who floated.
On the river, is this a good sizing for a king to call off? Should I overbet this river for more value?

Is there a high hand promotion in the room that quad K's will qualify for?

Where I play large high hand promotions completely distort how most people would play flopped trips that's why I asked.

I'd probably go with $90 just because $100 represents a bit of a psychological barrier, but honestly they'll probably call $100 too.

I typically fold AJo in EP (and sometimes even MP).
If I'm cbetting here I size smaller; $20 on this board will accomplish the exact same thing as $30.
I'm also checking the turn. Getting one more street of value vs worse would be a very good result and checking helps accomplish that; against passive players we might even have to consider check/folding the turn.
I think I would size smaller on the river as even the top part of her range (Kx, 77) will have a hard time calling a big bet (let alone the weaker parts of her range).

She basically snap called the $100, saw my hand and mucked. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss out on too much value here
