Only thing i have on villain is that he is 50/2 over 100 hands.

Party Poker 1.00/2.00 Hold'em (6 handed) link

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero raises, 2 folds, Button 3-bets, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.75 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets

Wasn't sure if I should take the check-call, check-call, bet line or if I should throw in a raise somewhere. Also, if I do the c/c, c/c, B line should I be pitching on the river to a raise?

Well, there are 4 AK's, 6 KK's, 6 QQ's, and I'm not even sure if JJ will be in this guy's 3 betting range. What's his WtSD? If you think he'll call a c/r here with KK, you're ahead of his range by a 3:1 margin. If you think he'll fold those, then you're better off calling and hoping he'll call your river bet. If he's not prone to miss value bets (unlikely), you could consider check/raising the river.

Loosey like that is calling down a check-raise with KK. The only thing I hate about check-raising the turn is I'm put in such a shatty situation when I get 3-bet. I'm not really sure where to go from there.

I would bet the turn against a better player. A check/call seems fine here.

Against really bad players I really don't like c/r the turn b/c I don't want to fold to a 3-bet. I call the turn and lead the river.

check/call, check/call, bet is the best line here, as you win the most when you're ahead and lose the least when you're behind

check/raising the turn is bad

call a river raise (which will never happen)

Against a better player I agree. I think it's bad poker to not bet, then.

Against this player, I would check-raise and expect to be ahead when called, but woefully behind when 3-bet. Why would you just check-call?

I think WA/WB is fine here, but I would definitely call a river raise. Maybe this defeats the purpose of the wa/wb line. But it's possible that villian doesn't put you on an ace when you just call the flop and turn, and thinks perhaps you're betting whatever the river card is or your JJ and raises w/ his KK, not likely, but possible.
