Dealt to Hero T♦ 9♣

fold, fold, Hero raises to $3.50, BTN calls $3.50, fold, fold

FLOP ($8.50) K♥ 4♦ 9♠

Hero bets $5, BTN raises to $15, Hero calls $10

TURN ($38.50) K♥ 4♦ 9♠ 7♥

Hero checks, BTN bets $21, Hero calls $21

RIVER ($80.50) K♥ 4♦ 9♠ 7♥ 3♦

Hero checks, BTN checks

villain is a regular: 24/19/6, 257 hands, raise continuation bet 29% (7). is it fair to say that it is hard for villain to represent much on the flop and therefore his range is quite polarised?
My thinking was that if villain has hands like AK, he is much more likely to just call here in the hope of getting another bet out of me on the turn.
I'm not sure he would even raise 44 or 99 here (for much the same reasons). So I think we can call on the flop. I don't think the turn changes much and if villain is bluffing I expect him to continue ( except maybe on a 4 or 9). Is this reasoning okay or is my call on the turn already bad?

thanks

In general I'd say it is ok to play it like this (and so is your reasoning).
But against an unknown (not in terms of having stats of him but to know how he plays) I'd rather just b/f on the flop.
After all you only have a weak 2nd pair, you might be behind already and even if you are ahead you'll always have a hard time playing on turn and river (ofc the plan is to c/c any turn, but on the river you're still just guessing).
