The villain is 40+/20+ and is the mark at the table (one tabling, chatting, etc).

I call turn b/c I know he'd bet any Ax, two pair or FD hand on flop (feel very confident in this read). His hand looks like KcQx to me (pair + gutter+FD). Is this call a leak (given read on player, no way I continue this hand vs. a reg who delay c-bets big on this board).

The river is obviously the best card in the deck. Do I go for value here given my turn read of his hand (his river check removes any thought of a slow played monster) or check and figure to be best 99% of the time?

Sorry if this seems too easy, just looking for help.
