How would you play this?

I would fold probably around 99-100% of the time, but that's just me. I think you're just going to end up costing yourself bets.

i would fold pf, but if you are going to play this hand, raise to try to buy the button. the flop is very good for you, cap it and raise the turn, if he 3 bets the turn its a good indication he might have you beat with AK, the way this played out i think he has a pair most likely KK or QQ, when he checks the river hes admitting defeat, bet, he will likely call with a worse hand (kk/qq)

I agree on all counts. Your read's wrong, though.

Raise or fold preflop, calling is your worst option.
bet the river, unless he loves the check-raise.

flop and turn are fine once you get it heads-up.

You can't afford any -EV plays at any levels.

Fold this PF, bet the river.

Sorry, I only read up to the preflop action, where it should have been Fold.
