He check raised the flop, then checked again...

I don't know about this hand. I didn't have much of a read on him, but he seemed a little loose and very passive. When he checkraised the flop after capping preflop, I was thinking he must have some real stregnth. Then he checked the turn... Now what? I didn't think he was going for a free card. I thought he was trying to check raise me again. Should I give him credit for AA or KKK or QQQ and just call down?

I think you stopped too early with a possible winner. I 3 bet this flop and slow down if he caps the flop or c/r me on the turn. Until then I keep betting this.

I agree with this assesment.

Did you not threebet the flop so you could raise the turn? You really have to bet this hand you have tptk heads up in a sh game. If I threebet and he capped and then checked the turn I still would bet this.

It has been my experience that this is a trap. Until now I have always bet the turn in this spot, but I usually hate myself as he check-raises again. When someone raises (or in this case 3-bets) preflop and then checks the flop they almost always have a monster. The check on the turn strikes me as just another version of this play.

three bet flop and check call if he caps.

Given your line bet the turn. If he raises I call down.
