The villain seems to be LAG. Before I saw the river I was obviously going for a raise if he bets, but I didn't like the river card at all. Plus that pot-size bet seemed to be very strong, I don't think he's bluffing here. Before I called the only thing I could think of was a full house, or AJ, too, but of course I can't really fold here, can I? Any thoughts?

Hi, I think that because the villain is a LAG, you're IP and the hand you have, you should definitely 3bet this hand, I would 3bet to 20-22 cents just to put some fear and respect into him.

As played however on that flop you have some options I think calling is fine but folding is fine as well, you could raise but you need to know his flop c-bet percentage as well, without further info I think a x/c or x/f is fine either way.

You opted to call and on the turn you have the nuts _love: now villain is pretty aggro which tells me that he likes that K so you can safely assume he has KT KQ AJ or AK at this point, possibly he flopped a set as well, given that he shows such aggression why don't you raise him? I don't see him folding here to a raise, ~75 cents should be fine.

On the river with that pot size bet from villain shows a lot of strength, personally I would call here as well but I think the better option is to fold without further info on villain, the river is difficult, perhaps a coach can share some insight on this.

Good luck!
