What's your line, then?

It's very likely that he has a vulnerable hand that he'd like to fold the field on, given his flop checkraise. So I think JTs is out. He didn't 3-bet preflop, which he would do with AK and AQ. So they're out. That leaves KQ, weaker Aces (like AT), AJ (chop-chop).

He's significantly more likely to checkraise the flop with a weaker hand. Checkraising the turn is generally a strongish hand, but he'd play top pair like this in a similar way.

This board sucks for protecting your hand. You can't protect your hand unless you have the best hand to start. Villian's play here is bad. The flop cr is bad. The turn cr is bad. But you don't have a great hand. So you should call down after the turn cr.

The line villian choose isn't a thinking players line. Because of this, I don't think you can hand read it effectively. Because I can't hand read it effectively I think calling is best. I don't like pumping hands that are played strangly. Strangly played hands are often bluffs or monsters.
