KTo Blind defense

Turn, IP, I think is OK to flat. If you raise him you risk letting go his river bet.
River is the perfect card, it gives you nuts and complete draws that you win from. Maybe a smaller bet, to somewhere between 8~12 would be better, but I think villain had nothing. I don't think he'd place you in QJ to fold AK on that river. Also, considering there's only one K left, I doubt villain had it at all. My guess is he'd have QT/JT/9T(?).

i agree w most of what you say, but the only size is for the river raise is all in. you have the nuts, you cooler everything. you need to maximize. when you are never getting paid, you are not bluffing enough.

villain had 65dd of course.

Well played! On every street. You might consider 3bet preflop but without information flat call is okay.

would a raise be better?

No! Board is relatively dry. You dont need much of a protection. No point to raise. By raising you unnecessary narrow his range. And if he choose to stack off you will be in tough spot

I think I scared him off.

I doubt QJ or AK are folding here so his play seems like bluff. Mark him as an aggressive player.

Turn play seems reasonable. Keep villains range as wide as possible and you give villain the change to bet the river as well.
