Missed with AKo and checked twice HU OOP
1/2NL, effective stacks about 450. Villain seems like competent amateur. 3rd position limps, I raise to 12 from HJ with AcKh, CO cold calls, limper folds. Flop comes Ts9h7d, x, x. Turn is 5h. x, villain bets 15. What is my play and plan?

Easy fold?
I mean you can check/call to bluff catch but there are alot of bad rivers. Can we really check/call 2 streets blindly putting villain on bluffs?
V range includes all the 9x 7x, 5x some pp like 66 88 and random bluffs. If villain is tricky he'll even have all sorts of slowplayed strong/nutted hands.
I've folded in similar spots vs aggro players. No shame in folding, sure they have bluffs alot but they also thin value like madman.
Yeah, I folded. Thought about calling or check raising, because I thought he would bet whatever once I checked twice.
With the Kh I might bet the turn for pretty big. Villain isn't going to be very strong when he flats pre and checks back flop unless he has exactly 55. Your hand can get value/protection on the turn and can bluff (or even bluff catch) on lots of rivers.
AP, I would probably call. I would imagine that you are pretty close to the top of your range that isos from EP and then checks twice, and your hand has a lot of equity against V.
