Live $2/$5: AK facing a flop checkraise 200BB deep
$1000 eff. V is a recreational LAG reg. Plays too many hands. Plays too many hands OOP. Plays too many hands in early positions. Flats too many 3bs OOP. All are interrelated of course. Seems to have a big ego. Likes to make moves and hero calls. Loves to talk strat at the table.
He's been opening a lot and I've been 3bing him a lot in position and of course he's frustrated. His response has been flatting my 3bs 100%.
6-handed, he opens UTG (MP2 6-handed) to $20, MP1 calls, I 3b to $80 in CO with A♣ K♦ and only V calls.
K♥ 6♠ 3♠ $187 He checks, I bet $125, he CRs to $325
For value I think he'd do this only with sets. For bluff I think he'd do this with 54s and a bunch of suited spade connectors such as 9♠ 8♠ and 7♠ 5♠ Maybe pair+FD like KQss or KJss. I have As so there should be less suited Aces in his range.So in other words I think it's either sets and a bunch of flush draws.
What should be our optimal line?

I'd call the raise on the flop to keep his bluffs in. The turn is an interesting spot. I'd most likely jam over any bet on a non-spade. On a spade turn I'd call and look to play rivers.
Is giving him a chance to continue (semi)bluffing OTT worth the risk of a spade turn? And btw, I think if we call turn we're committed OTR. In fact even the turn maybe a jam given remaining stacks.
Given stack sizes I think the money is going in on the flop/turn when V has a spade draw. If you call and play the turn you can allow V to jam with a bluff/semi bluff with a wider range that he/she is not willing to call off to a pre-flop jam (gut shots or pairs trying to represent sets). Definitely player dependent - what did you do?
I really fucked up and folded and he triumphantly showed Qh9h.
Pre V's RFI utg appears strong. As played on the flop, V's cr polarizes both your hands. TPTK is too strong to fold. The board is dynamic so I'd try to pot control and narrow V's range on future streets. After the flop action, SPR is about 1.2 which warrants AI or not. It would gross, but further aggression by V would make me fold regardless of run out.
