Default When to slow down with pocket aces heads up with no bet cap?

Playing full ring 1/2 Crypto with no cap on betting when heads up.

Hero raises pocket aces UTG+1, 3 cold callers (haven't seen this many people calling a raise preflop in hours, YaY), blinds fold.

Flop is K52 rainbow. (9SB)

Hero leads, 1 call, 1 fold, Button raises, Hero 3 bets, 1 fold, Button 4 bets...

I just called down after this as I hadn't seen him get wild on the flop without a hand better than a pair, the board is drawless, plus a Q fell on the turn which would help KQ.

Did I slow down too early?

I would figure you are looking at a set of fives. A/K might cold call preflop. K/K would not cold call preflop though. I doubt a tight player would 4-bet with KQ though. I would assume you are looking at a set of fives (or deuces). Check/call for sure at least.

You played the hand fine. If you really want to you could lead the river (get raised) and call the raise.

You mentioned that the table was tight...well what might he be coldcalling with? AK? KK? 55?

After we figure this out, we can determine how big we should go here.

I only have 15 hands on him and had even less during play. Looking over it he looks to be loose passive - 53/7, defending his BB with 82o against a button open raise, check calling a 456 flop and check raising the 7 turn. He also posted in UTG+1 when he first sat down.

I hadn't noticed any of this at the table, I need to be more observant. I just assumed he was weak tight like most of the people at the table and put him on KQ or 55. I was pretty sure he'd reraise KK preflop though.

I think that's perfect without much of a read.
