the question is do i call this river or not? The problem is after this stats he should never bet there AK AQ AJ and therefore i have always fold on his bet bet bet.

But, i dont know what aproach to do, so he don't start like 3x barreling with AK to throw me out from pp.

Is there any strategy around this ? Or just call it down from time to time?

You call the River for sure. 1:10,5 and you have a pair. Thats enough for the chance that he could be betting AK against AJ or AQ and because he'll never get raised and he's got to call the river anyways. If you're not sure about these "close" spots and you're torn between calling and folding, you should always call. It may just be a minor mistakes but fold costs you the entire pot, if he did bet with AK.

And why not raising flop here immediatelly to protect against AK..? I guess we dont have more than 50procents equity.

The idea of protecting your hand vs AK here is a little bit outdated, if you're raising here it's got to be for value.

You're in position so it's not like AK can get away with checking back the river.

Whether you raise the flop or not depend entirely on what you think of his capping range. Obviously if it's 99+ and AQ+ you can't raise for value (32 unpaired combos, with has 6 outs vs you and maybe some backdoors, and 36 combos of pairs that beat you, where you have 2 outs and some very dirty BD draws and RIO)

If you think he's fairly wide at this point then you can put in a bit of extra action.
