there are 3 combos of AK (which fit the best imo), 3 of QQ (he would probably cap the turn with these though), and 3 of AA (which may not be raising our turn stop and go). i'm assuming KQ is out since it's the nuts on the turn and he didn't cap. he's betting with all, but only raising AA/AK, so check call.

edit: i played a hand similar to this before. i had KQ and was 3-bet preflop. flop was KKQ and we capped. turn blank and he called my 3-bet. river ace i check called.

This makes sense to me. And it looks more than likely your behind, so I like check/call. I would do nothing that included a fold.

Isn't the bet/call, bet/3 bet thing a heads up line against an aggro villain? How come you're leading the flop? Didn't want it getting checked through, or did you think the other guy is just as likely to call 2 as 1, or some other reason?

are you saying you want to fold somewhere one this river? I want at least 1-2 bets going in on the river, expecially since the lack of a read gives us no reason to think we're probably behind.

I don't think leading this flop is a problem. It's a good thing to mix up your plays so that you're not predictable. A lot of players will see a donkbet here as a weak play because "obviously" a king would c/r or slowplay.

No one considers check-calling?
