Re: AK as an isolator, against an isolator
looks good.
bet/folding the turn is bad because you're getting something like 9:1 with 6 outs vs TT - QQ which may play it like this. Since we really don't want to see a check/raise, we decide to induce a bluff / take a free card on the turn.
Q on the river is the worst card for you, but after your turn check, villian might be fairly confident to put you on AK and take a stab with AT, AJ, or KJ. But was he making a play on the flop then? C/Ring, hoping you fold UI on the turn with overcards? It's possible, but less likely than a pair, say 88, A9, TT-QQ.
We induced a bluff, we can't fold to it now, can we? It's the combination of a crappy river card + his flop c/r that makes me believe that we're usually beat here. He probably thinks we have AK, so how does he think we will act with it?
