MP: $121.23 (121.2 bb)
CO: $120.37 (120.4 bb) 27/20/5 3b v UTG 2%, bet v MB 60%, FtFcb 44%
BTN: $120.85 (120.9 bb)
SB: $100 (100 bb)
BB: $90.30 (90.3 bb)
Hero (UTG): $199.01 (199 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K A
Hero raises to $3, MP folds, CO calls $3, 3 folds

Flop: ($7.50) 5 4 5 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $3.65, Hero calls $3.65

Turn: ($14.80) 5 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks

River: ($14.80) 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $7.20, Hero calls $7.20

I think that when I check OTF as UTG/MP PFA my range is FOS on these kinds of textures. Every pocket pair I am cbetting for value/protection => every pocket pair in villain's range is valuebet and it sucks for me.

Is it OK that my range is just weak on some textures or is there anything I could do to make my XC range stronger? What hands should include my XC range OTF?
Your thoughts?

I would check-call KK and AA sometimes against aggressive opponents. These hands are def strong enough to go for 3 streets, but don't really need to bet for protection.

As played if your range only contains AJ-AK, then I think you need to call down AK at the very least. Of course if you think your opponents don't use the bet F check T bet R line with air hands too often you could make an exploitative fold.
