I dunno. I kind of like check flop and fold if he bets. I don't think there's any way he's folding to a cbet on this flop and double barreling him isn't very appealing. You were kind of lucky in that you got a club turn which gives you a bunch more outs. Obviously when I squeeze here with KQ I'm cbetting the vast majority of flops, but I'm prepared to make 432 an exception.

Bet flop. Who knows what he has, but presumably if he hates his hand now there's not a lot of cards on the turn that are going to improve it, whereas a spade on the turn might make him freeze up when he would have stacked the flop. It's hard for a check to gain much.

That river bet is pretty awful, check to induce a bluff from a busted gutshot or whatever.

Generally you don't get away from AK in this spot. I would 4-bet it preflop against most players and fold it against very tight players. In general I dislike calling AK to threebets.

I would check the river. The only situation where you are getting value is if he has JT or J9 - he probably doesn't have a worse queen but if he does he will bet it when you check, and I don't think he calls with worse than J9. I think it's likely that he has a busted draw or a better hand than you, or an 8 or something which he'll fold. If you bet and he raises, neither folding nor calling looks attractive to me. Checking avoids this situation - it probably loses a little value since he'll call JT or J9 more than he'll bet a busted draw, but I think it's +EV to avoid a potential raise.
If he's so bad that he might call an 8, then you can bet.
