Default top two pair

I've played a decent number of hands with Villian and he generally rates out a TAA, but I've seen him show down a couple big hands where he's played passively - calling down all the way with the nut flush or straight, or betting small to induce a raise when he has top trips (preflop raise with QQ that hit).

Villain has ~$525, I have him covered.

Folded to me in CO with KJo. Raise to $18. Villain calls in BB.

Flop (Pot = ~$35): Kc, 5h, Jc

Check, I bet $30, Villain minraises $60. I have no read on what this means from him. Possible hands include 55, a decent king (AK/KQ - though AK might reraise PF), KJ or a draw - thought OOP I would expect him to call or raise more with a draw. Range that he would call with is somewhat wide, since he probably figures me for a possbily light raise.

I call. Considered raising to $150 straight, which might clarify things. Is this better?

Turn (~150): Ah. Could give him a straight or two pair with AK. Could mean nothing.

Villain bets $60. Hero??

Also - how would you play the turn if he bet larger, or if it's a complete brick and he stills bets $60?
