I didnt have really reads on villain postflop tendencies. He had played somewhat passive preflop calling raises too much but that apply to most pool really.

When SB start to lead flop here I think its somewhat polarizing move as I still have advantage on AA. I suppose we have similar amount of KT though I could see good SB call range (which is almost non existent) to actually having more KT. Very likely villain has way too wide call range though. But yeah with non suited A on flop I will also have some really strong hands in form of AA+nfd. Well just thinking if leading for SB is thing here. I would probably check my whole range in HU pot at least. Anyway half pot is normal at this point. I would also use half pot if cbetting.

Turn is fairly blank but introduces another straight. VIllain bets again half pot which is theory wise imo questionable. Its not really spot where it make that much sense for villain to lead flop like JJ or two pair. Maybe like some AKQ+nfd could make some sense. But if he double barrels it should be mainly straight for value imo and sizing should be bigger. I also think T8 would make sense to bet bigger as I simply have lot of sets and nut fd in my range.

Turn sizing became kind of important in my thinking process as on river villain pots on total blank. At this point he basically says its straight or bluff. My hand is kind of bad bluff catcher not having any straight blocker. Though on good side I also dont have big club as blocker to his bluff range. But I just felt like this line smells mainly because of turn sizing being so small and decided to look him up.

Some really strong hits of course make sense like AKQT with nfd for small size but that kind of holding might also 3bet preflop. Though not necessarily. Well I think its interesting spot and wonder if I put too much weight on bet size as pool fundamentals are kind of lacking on these sort of spots.

I dont think you can read too much what a random player thinks on such case. Maybe he thinks he wants to milk you with small bets, maybe he doesn't really understand bet sizing, maybe he has a redraw and wants to bet inducing sizigs, who knows.

Kc should be the keycard here. Does he have it and with or without T. Or maybe even Tc.

I think I would just give up if the opponent didnt seem too agressive. As you said not the best bluffcatcher, I perceive donking this board somewhat strong, and info about opponent doesnt help in future as you cant take notes.
