Thoughts? I bet the river thinking I would get value from AJs, ATs. Maybe this is a bit thin? Facing the raise, I'm thinking, AK wouldn't play like this as I have a few 9x hands and TT, and there are very few 9's in his range (given his 3bet pre, and check on the turn).
Question is, how often do expect to run in to a flush here? Would QJs/KQs/87s/76s type hands play like this? 3bet pre is probable, decent hands to cbet flop bluff, but HOW OFTEN do they check the turn after picking up equity? Personally, I would probably barrel them as they are among the best hands to bluff with here, no?
Are you check/calling this river, or bet/folding, or bet/calling as I played it?
Thanks!

I think b/f half pot is the way to go. Never call a raise.

I would assume your range is very Ax heavy so it wouldn't make much sense for him to bluff with total air on a flop this dry.
If he does play flop like this, I would expect him to barrel hands that turned a FD.
I think he would barrel AQ+/9x for value but he could check these some of the time. AA/A9/KK-TT/Ax is probably checking.
I think value betting river is too thin. First of all, AT beats you on this board so you're only looking at value from AJ/KK-JJ. I don't think KK-JJ is calling.
He doesn't have many flushes, but a lot of other hands are beating you here. Without doing the math, I would guess check/call or check/fold is best.

Bet river seems fine, on this board he has no bluffs except for pure air, would fold to raise (wouldn't expect him to raise anything else than flush or full).
