Villain is a 57/16 fish who I thought was very aggro.

I think that I played this one horribly. My idea was to isolate him and let him bluff me. Hence the flop and turn checks. Not quite sure what I was thinking by leading on the river, but considering his wide range, I thought it was for value. When he went all in, I was obviously not happy, time was running out and I called thinking that I beat a flush, a random smaller FH or a bluff. But that's silly since he'd never do that with a flush, and probably not with a smaller FH. Also, his line makes total sense, since he would probably check back the flop with trip Ks and bet the turn.

How would you have played it?

Check call on every street ?
You give most opportunities to bluff and minimize your losses when you are behind.
(He might even bet a worse hand for value at some point).
Not sure about value betting. Think you get 2 streets of value max, which isn't that bad.
Checking flop seems reasonable.

I think flop check is fine, other strategies make sense as well. I like the idea of betting 66-99 and checking TT JJ and QQ since they benefit less from denying equity.

As played turn is a super clear bet. We have the effective nuts, so I would go for two streets of healthy sizing. In my experience when people shove the river in these 3 on the board spots they are super imbalanced towards value, so I fold to the jam for sure.
