This player is a complete unknown, first hand.

The action by the river indicates that he's weak, although KQ and KT have me crushed (granted, KT seems highly unlikely given my holding). It's also highly unlikely that he has any Jx hand or AK, unless he likes slowplaying.

While reviewing this hand, I realised afterwards there really wasn't a huge range of logical holdings that can call us. If we want a call from weaker hands such as A9, AT, QT etc what sizing do we go for? If at all?

Bit of a tricky one in retrospect against an unknown.

You can bet big as if he will call he will do it no matter the size. 2/3 to 3/4 size.

I would probably bet the same indeed. Villain is IP and shows no strength. Sets and straights would bet here so you are mostly targeting pairs and some 2pair combos. I think most other hands will not call you off and Kings full will raise you here.
