    How about 750 (make it look like a blocking bet)-3bet then fold if we get 4bet? I think this would get the most out of AQ/AK type hands that call our weak turn bet then raise the river. If he has JJ-KK he'll surely call, though we'd lose a little value from that small of a bet. I don't think he can/would 4bet anything other than AA or 22, even if AT was in his range at any point.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

    I would c/r.

    Seems like it would be a weird plan for him to 3bet JJ-AA and then check back that flop. I think most of his range is AK/AQ so c/r river. I see all the moneys got in...it would be pretty gross if he 3bets a river c/r this deep. Even if its a weird line to take with AA, what else could he have?

    The only thing that can beat us is 22 and AA, so it's not that scary of a situation. If he had 22, he most likely would've bet bigger on flop/turn, instead of checking and calling. The preflop raise is big, but it's looking like just an AK or KK/QQ to me, unless he'd really slow play some AA's.

    I would right over half of the villains remaining stack, he's called/bet 600 and 500 amounts, so it would put a little added pressure on him. I'd also shove/call his impending all-in if he were to do so.

    Also, I don't play at these levels, still in the micro levels. But I think betting big here leads to the most chips for you.

    Edit: Maybe not half his remaining stack, I had him confused with another player before I posted. I'd probably hit it around 1200 or so.

    I would check raise. We lose only from two hands and we don't look so strong from his point of view. I don't mind stackin' off if he shoves our c/r.

    I'd agree with c/r. Seems like if he checks behind he probably wasn't going to call a value bet anyway. This at least lets him bluff the A if he has nothing.

    I can't figure out what he's got though, really weird passive line after the big 3-bet pf. Do people 3-bet AKs like this in a $200 tourney? Seems like he'd want to c-bet the flop though if that's the case rather than check behind.

    fire 1k he's gonna call a lot more often with AK/AQ type hands than he is going to bet them out on the river, he's likely to just check behind, but he might be a thin value bettor so depends on your read too.
