Ok, there can something be said about my preflop 4bet, don't know whether that is the way to go.
However, I didn't want to play this pot (possibly 3way) OOP.

anyway, when villain decides to flatcall a 4bet, he should have a very tight range since I've shown a lot of strenght.
This is also the reason why I slow down and plan to x/c.
On the turn, my plan basically remains the same. I don't want to get raised nor do I want to blow up the pot. He is betting quite small and I decided to call.
On the river, I could have guessed he was going to shove and maybe I should have thought of that beforehand. My plan was to also x/c here, but a shove makes it a bit more difficult to do so. Don't know what you guys think...

Tough to think villain has to many KK+ in his/her range after the call pre-flop.
Flop isn't to scary and I would go for a value cbet on the flop.
As played check/call turn and river seems fine, but it depends a little bit on the villain you dealing with. Against a passive villain I would most likely give up the river, but even than it's possible villain could over play hands like JJ-TT.

After 4bet pre is pot to big to fold postflop on low board imo. He can turn his AK high in to a bluff after you check behind so he could steal a split pot.

First of all, I really like your check on flop.
The board hits villain's range a bit better and you seem to understand that.
I like the calldown as well. We still beat TT, JJ, 98s and several bluffs... The only thing I don't like is we have the Q of hearts cos we block AQhh and KQhh if he would peel with those.
Nice hand on NL50. But this is NL5. Standard cooler I guess if he has kings or aces.
