No specific reads on villain here...been sitting for maybe 50 hands, they haven't gotten too involved in anything. However when they called the flop and turn they were almost instantaneous...So i figured they were being stubborn with any ace(although probably Q,J,10 since they've been fairly tight) or they were on a flush draw. So given the river blanked...do you like betting pot here? overbetting to induce a "big call" from opponent? underbetting? checking to induce bluff/value bet? (although i was confident they would check behind most of the time here) they had $180 left on river

That river bet looks absolutely terrible against a reasonable opponent. No worse hand will ever call that. I'd bet $70 or so and expect either a call or a fold. In the unlikely event that you're raised a fold is probably correct, as you've represented AA/KK/AK pretty clearly all the way.

Well played. I think villain was on some kind of draw or perhaps AQ. He's probably not calling any bet on the river.

If you have a good read I make a blocking bet of $25 and hope I get raised, or at least called. Villain isn't pot cimmitted so he can get away here, although I have seen some donkish calls here.

how about a more decent sized value bet? 1/2 pot that a weak ace will pay off?

You've shown a ton of strength. Slow down with about 70 on river. Maybe AQ or AJ calls you down.
