NL10 - KK in river trouble
My first hand here, so I appologise if info is missing.
Villan is 57% fold to 3-bets, and 0% 4 betting, but only over a 57 hands sample
I havenst seen him out of line.
I just moved from NL5 to NL10, and on NL5 i people are really not bluffing much on the river - why overfolding rivers imo are profitable.
I think pre is pretty standard.
Flop: I like betting pretty big OOP, on a board where he could have a lot of straightdraws.
Turn i cant see much reason to raise, since we wanna keep is draws and bluffs in - but could we fold or is that t weak ?
River:
If we think he would 4-bet AA, QQ and maybe AK - we could give him a range like:
JJ, 1010, AQ AJs - and maybe a few other random conbos.
In that case i guess folding is correct.
But my experience in thinking in ranges this way is pretty limited, so dont really know if i am doing it correct.
How would you guys have played this hand ?

You might get clarity by determining the range with which V takes this line.
One thing to note is look at the range you gave him. JJ/TT/AQ/AJs. If that range is correct, and he is bluffing with all his AQ combos, then you absolutely should call here. There are only 6 hands of value there and 16 combos of bluffs, and you can discount JJ/TT a bit as some of those will raise the flop. Now personally I think that's an overly tight range. I think he can have AJo QQ, some AK, some QJs. It's hard to know if calling over a 1/2 pot bet OTF leaves him with as many bluff combos as you've given him. On the other hand your actual hand feels stronger than your range here, so maybe he thinks he can value bet something like ATs/QQ here.
It's a tough spot and one I'm generally curious as to the solver solution on. My instincts are to bet the turn and probably x/eval river (leaning fold) if called. Like you said, rivers are pretty under bluffed, especially after you make floating expensive with a big flop bet, so I don't think folding as played is a huge mistake. You can also look at his FtoCBet stat. Unfortunately your sample is small, but this would be a good indicator as to how many weaker hands he may have in his range to turn into bluffs.
