Flop: 7 8 7

PFA. What's your line?

Turn: K
BB bets, Hero?

You have AQo in MP2 and, naturally, open-raise your hand. A fish in the
CO cold-calls your raise and the BB, a PS-TAG, defends his big blind
passively. You make your standard continuation bet on the low card
rainbow flop and both of them call.

The turn brings a K and the TAG donks into you. How do you continue?

You have AQo again - this time you're in the CO and you manage to

calls. Even though the turn should be a blank, the MP3 donks into you
again. How do you continue?

you decide to bet again for free showdown.

The river brings the K and the BB donks. What's your line?
