Default AK vs. TAG

I think every street is debatable here. I'm most concern about the turn check, and whether there's any value in the river bet. Thoughts?

READS
Villain (BB) is a good TAG - 17/12/2.8 after over 1000 hands. I suspect he's 3-betting range is wider than normal, and he realises SB is overly loose. I'm assuming he also knows I raise first in pretty liberally

SB is loose - 70/2/0.6 after 30 or so hands, my read on him confirms he's loose

When I first saw the hand, my first thought was "bet the turn;" however, given the flop action, I like the turn check. Once he checks the river to you, it's an easy value bet.

I would have bet the turn and then if he raised, call and then check/call the river.

I don't think we're ever ahead when C/R'd on the turn and I think a Tag is folding to a bet when he's beat quite often. I think I like the turn check but I have no idea why OP is questioning the obvious river bet.

Yeah, I guess the river bet is a given. I was probably over thinking the hand, though I'm unsure whether villain would pay off with an underpair. With that being said, I have shown weakness on the turn and will likely induce a river call. My main concern was a river check-raise, since I thought villain thought I'd bet any river when checked too, and therefore villain had a good opportunity to check-raise me. I also thought it was most likely he was holding two pair or greater and that furthered my concerns.
