Hi Hashkan

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: I think that flop and turn is fine.

As played ask yourself what the fish can raise there with. Can he raise hands like Kx (no fullhouse) or is he polarized (fullhouse or nothing)?

I feel that he is probably rarely checking Kx 3 streets just to x/raise river so he is polarized. That means that raising doesn't really do much so calling to keep bluffs in is a good option.
