Sure looks like AK, KK, TT or AA. How wide a range would he 3-bet you with? I can't imagine playing QQ, JJ, 99, or AQ like that on the flop and turn.

Folding the turn seems fine.

Im folding the turn.

I think check/calling or check/raising the flop is much better than bet/calling.

A PFR number on villian would really help as I want to know if he would be the type of player to 3 bet us sort of light based on position, but I'm pretty worried that he has us crushed. I think I check call the whole way down.

Based on your read I don't see what you can beat (perhaps split w/KQs) unless he'd 3bet preflop w/KJs here or play QQ, JJ super aggressive postflop, everything else is crushing you it appears. Fold the turn.

Re: KQ top pair
 

although i don't think its very clear cut i think this might be a good time for WA/WB line on the flop, ie check call the flop. I dont want to give a tag the chance to raise my flop bet with QQ/JJ inducing me to fold incorrectly later, both of which he will certainly bet if checked to.
The turn seems trickier. I am debating between continuing the WA/WB line or just bet-fold the turn. the first line potentially wins more when were ahead (and he bets the turn with QQ/JJ) but the second line potentially loses us less when were behind (and he raises TT/KK/AA/maybe AK). Given that we are most likely behind I would probably bet-fold the turn. On the other hand if were just called that leaves us in a sticky situation on the river.
