Personally, I would have made a solid bet on the flop after he checks (about 3/4 the pot) with the plan to check/fold in the future if he called or raised. Two high cards are definitely inside his range, and if that's the case, he'll most likely either 1) fold or 2) check down the hand unless he improves his hand later on.
So, betting out the flop lets you know right where you stand. If he reraises or bets OTT or OTR, you can probably safely put him on an overpair or a set, and fold. If he doesn't have a holding that beats you, he's likely to either fold outright or check down the hand if he makes a speculative call that misses. |

Unless his 3-bet % isn't in line with his PFR, I think the only high cards he 3-bets here are AK. So the vast majority of the time you are going to find out that you are behind and lose even more money. And some of the time he'll be raising you with AK anyway, and so you are folding even more often.
I think the PF call was a mistake against this player, and I think betting this flop is going to be another mistake. |

I agree with the above - fold PF, you just cant make that call without throwing money away a huge percentage of the time.
I would be inclined to call the river here to see your opponent turn over 2 face cards though. |
