I was just looking for a linecheck on the turn.

Should I bet and bluff the K or should I go into c/c mode or even c/f?
I have a reason to believe that villain is floating quite often here.

Well if he's floating you as often as you believe then c/c has to be better than betting. You are never folding a better hand and are probably never getting value from worse. When you bet he calls Jx, Kx and folds his air. When you check, he bets Jx(maybe), Kx, and his air so it is probably better.

Obv other stuff to consider is how he plays draws, will he call a gutter on the turn? will he bet one if checked to?...etc

if you bet this turn, you kinda gotta call a shove.

Otherwise, check the flop or turn.

I like just checking the flop.

If you have reason to believe he's floating, then check turn.

I'd bet bigger on flop and check/fold the turn. You have to bet bigger at nl100 to make random floats go away when you have a marginal hand and don't want to be messed with.

xI feel if I bet I can get TT-99, to fold and maybe some weaker Jx sometimes. Also his air obv

What do we do if I check and he bets 35$. Are we calling with 3rd pair?

What do we do on the river? What rivers do we call/fold?

I hate going into calling mode, which means I have to guess with usually limited information.

Sorry, but this doesn't make sense. Why do I need to call a shove with 3rd pair.

I don't really like giving iniative that often. There isn't going to be a lot of good cards in the deck for me, so why check? Shouldn't I just try to check in down?
I understand C/C with KJ in AKx, but here I'm pretty vulnerable.

Betting turn is fine as a bluff (and obv folding to a shove). It's pretty history dependent because my 2 barrel range is pretty wide here so I try to control it with a bad image.
