Should I check the turn or maybe bet smaller so hes still interested in the pot since hes 165bb deep and I could possibly take most of it if he hits something he likes. Also if he calls the turn and the river pairs the board, what is my action then?

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A, K

I would play the same way, just bigger sizing on the turn. No reason to let him x/b. Check turn only with a read that he likes bet vs missed cbet OTT a lot.

I like the way you played. There is no reason to give free cards. If someone has a reason to stay in the pot he will call you.
PLus we do not want to see how the board pairs on river :)

would bet bigger OTF also, when we want to bet a board that favours the caller usually a bigger sizing is better plus we have a tonne of equity and we can play facing a raise OK

Deception (faking weakness when strong and faking strength when weak) has a place in poker, but the main thing is to bet, and bet big, when you holds nuts and to not bet, or bet small when you hold trash - at least that is what we strive for. It should be obvious.

Getting this backwards or upside down is a disaster.
