24/12/inf/0/42, almost unknown

Grabbed by Holdem Manager
NL Holdem $1(BB) Replayer
SB ($103)
BB ($172)
UTG ($247)
UTG+1 ($139)
CO ($200)
Hero ($110)

Dealt to Hero A♠ T♠

fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $2.50, fold, BB calls $1.50

FLOP ($5.50) 2♥ 2♦ 2♠

BB checks, Hero checks

TURN ($5.50) 2♥ 2♦ 2♠ K♥

BB bets $3, Hero raises to $9,

I think his betting range on the turn is pretty loose. He can fold here 33-66, Ax, and any trash hands, because I can have a lot of Kx hands.

But if he call, what is my line on the river? Does it depend on what card will fall? Or the great part of his range on the river is Kx hands?

i don't think he'd bluff with pp on turn no need

I don't like the raise
it's simple he had Kx when cold call in bb

If I really had kx in my hand, I'd not raise either
I don't want to make a bluff leave, and if he got kx ,how he can fold

I don't like the raise too much either, but it's mostly because I think we can bluffcatch:
The times he has a PP he's usually never folding because he has a full house and additional to that as ttjjboy said we don't rep too many hands - we don't get better hands to fold.
If we think he will bet again on the river with most of his range, then we can call turn and river, there's no need to turn our hand into a bluff because (as mentioned above) we don't get better hands to fold (except mayyybe AJ and AQ if he doesn't 3bet them pre).

If we didn't have A high but fpr example JT, the raise would be ok because even though we cannot rep much, most opponents will not realize this and just b/f most of their hands - for example smth like QJ.

If he calls the raise you can either just give up, which is definitely a viable option, or fire very big on the river.
You're trying to get a full house to fold (NOT Kx, we're only hoping to fold out small PPs), so betting 1/2-2/3 potsize is suicidal.
I'd pot it or even put in a slight overbet.
But again without any info checking back is definitely ok, too.
