Just moved to this table so I have no read on villian.  Being OOP here is kinda crappy but 6 handed I wasn't ready to fold it PF when I flop TP, I check it to let him c-bet all the non A hands in his range.  Is the turn too passive here?  The first couple of streets kinda show why being OOP stinks but i'm more interested in the river.

 

On the river I'm thinking either put out a blocking bet and fold to a large raise or check/call.  Thoughts?

I probably put out a blocker bet with the way the board texture ran out. Maybe like 800 on the river and unless we have history and know he's tricky/capable we can likely pitch our hand if he raises us. 

I think we probably have the best hand a lot here.

I bet/fold river for 1K ~. If he isnt that good he might call u with a random K or worse A.

i agree as well with the blocker bet. the board runs out to our advantage for the blocker to be the minimum that we lose if we're beat. and i like the sizing of 1k that alex mentions. would suck if he raises but i think we have to put out blocker to avoid the big value bet when we're calling here alot as well.

I'd bet/fold 1k here.  Can't imagine them getting super tricky here and raising you with worse.

I doubt you are behind here. I would bet for value on the riv, maybe even more than 1k. Would prolly tankfold to a raise. I would play turn same way.

I think since you’ve pot controlled up to this point
You should continue with your plan. If he makes it
2k on the river…we have to sigh…and then call.

You have seriously underrepped your hand by calling
And playing passively.

Obv full houses beat us here. Unlikely he has the flush
As we have the Qc in our hand and that eliminates most reasonable
flush possibilities. AK is my main concern here.

I think he is value betting a lot of hands we chop with
…most kings in his range or bluffing with air.

I just feel like he’s folding all the hands we beat
When we bet 1000 chips here…but we save 1000
Chips a lot of the time.

I still think im check calling here and still having 20-24
Bbs to work with if we are beat

I like either option. Dont mind check/calling up to 1/2 pot and also like a blocker bet/fold to a jam.
