Villain was unknown to us.

I was worried about betting too big on flop/turn and forcing hands like AQ-AT to fold. Now that I'm looking back at this hand, I think that those hands could all call a larger size on both flop and turn, and maybe I missed some value.

On the river, I was probably more scared than I should have been. I think AK/55 are reasonably unlikely, and the king will help him call with AQ-. Also I don't think I should be allowing him to check with all his hands that are medium strength, and only bet his strong ones. That's why I think I should have bet a medium size on this river, but I'd like your guys' opinions please.

    Size up turn and shove river. Villain only has 1 combo of KJs and 3 combos of 55, both may fold pre at some frequency, and has AQ/AJs that they call. x/c is pretty bad especially with QTcc since we block pretty much all their bluffs they may have here, at best we are occasionally chopping. It feels a bit thin, but shove>x/c imo.
