400 NL: tricky spot with KK

SB: $536.80 (Hero)
BB: $400
UTG: $873.65
HJ: $459
CO: $400
BN: $490.60
Villain is a reg, his stats are 21/17/7 15% 4bet, fold to 3bet from button is 80% under 3k hands
Preflop ($6.00) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt K K
UTG calls $4, CO raises to $16, BN calls $16, Hero raises to $56, BB folds, UTG folds, CO folds, BN calls $40
Fish limps, other reg isolates, call, I 4bet, guess it's standard
Flop ($138.00) T 5 4 (3 Players)
Hero bets $64, BN calls $64
It might be bigger, but it's my standard size in 4bet pot
Turn ($266.00) T 5 4 A (3 Players)
Hero checks, BN bets $88, Hero calls $88
Check calling might be too weak, and makes my hand face up, but I'm totally lost what to do here. Betting makes sense?
River ($442.00) T 5 4 A A (3 Players)
Hero checks, BN bets $282.60, and is all in
I don't know it's a good card or a bad? And can villain bluff here?

Pfff ... what a weird spot. Play up to the river is 100% "correct", imho. River is damn close, because his value-range is so damn narrow (AQdd/hh, AKdd/hh?), but his bluffing-range is even narrower ... even more given the odds we´re getting, is he really expecting to have huge fold equity?

Weird spot.  So, over 3k hands he's very TAG-y preflop, and folds a ton to 3bets in position.  Then he calls.... so uhm, he has TTT right???  If he doesn't you gotta think he has either AQhh or KQhh, and he's not bluffing with JJ or QQ, so fold.

as for a counter argument, i think your range is so face up on the river (i.e. you should be barreling that A with both your bluffs and value) that you may have to call here. he should know this, and that A on turn is a decent barelling card for him, and second A makes it less likely he has it. on top of that, it we fold KK here do we even have a calling range? i guess we could check some A2-A4s bluffs to check/call here.

ianks, no doubt that it seems to be a nice spot for Villain to bluff - but please come up with a decent bluffing-range you´d expect this guy to have - AFTER calling the open, calling the 3bet and then calling the flop and barreling the turn? What do you expect to see?

Yes, that was my thought as well. While it can be very profitable to just barrel turn and river and make me fold everything, but what kind of hand he has, that gets to turn without real value. In-game I put him on Axhh, but now I think he had exactly TTT. Btw i folded.
