Default What do you think if this?

$1/$2 NL 6 max
Tricky LAG who is fairly good raises to $6 on the button.
I reraise to $24 in the BB with AK of spades. He calls.

We both have a little over $200.
Pot $50. Flop A86 rainbow. I bet $20. Theres nothing really to protect unless he has 97 (which is possible). He calls.

Pot $90. Turn 3. I check. He bets $40 and I check raise all in. When I play higher stakes it seems people are always doing this to me. They either raise or reraise preflop...bet the flop, then they check the turn and I think the were making a CB and have nothing. Then I bet the turn trying to steal the pot ( I usually have a decent hand or I wouldnt have called the flop)...then they check raise me. I cant call without a monster most times, but for all I know they have KK with the flop I posted.

So back to my hand, this guy probably wont call with TT or AJ, but he will also most likely check behind on the river anyway with those hands. Maybe not though, who knows.

Do you think Im losing too much value with this play? The guy is tricky enough that I think plays like this will slow him down against me when I really need to check the turn so it may be worth it even if I am losing value.
