[5z] Isolation the limper

Blinds: $0.02/$0.05 (6 Players) BN: $7.35 (Hero)
SB: $7.13
BB: $5.51
UTG: $12.66
MP: $5.00
CO: $7.61
Preflop ($0.07) Hero is BN with K 5 A T
2 folds, CO calls $0.05, Hero raises to $0.22, 2 folds, CO calls $0.17
V is very loose and very passive playing 64/5/0 in my ~100 hands with him.
Flop ($0.51) A K 3
CO checks, Hero bets $0.30, CO calls $0.30
Turn ($1.11) A K 3 9
CO checks, Hero bets $1.07, CO calls $1.07
Betting pot here should not be standard, however I figured there would be a good chance that his calling range is entirely unelastic and he will peel whatever he wants to peel anyway. Of course we are ahead of that and can use this to extract maximum value.
River ($3.25) A K 3 9 7
CO bets $1.56
Folding, calling and raising (as a bluff) could all be possible depending on the assumptions we make on his play. Thinking about the hand afterwards I still cannot figure this out. Please help!

This looks strange. He doesnt rep anything that beats you. unless he has 77 with clubs. I call here. Dont think bluff raising with top 2 is a good idea as he either has Top2 himself or a set, or worse that wll fold anyways.

fold? raise as bluff? u wot m8? there is a qjt + fd that missed and he donks. fold and raise isnt an option, so i dont quite understand the meaning of the thread, its a call 100% of the time.

Very strange indeed! Clubs missed, straight draws missed. Seems like he either valuebets his worse two pairs like A9 or turned 99 and didnt want to c/r you or had 77 with Ax or a flush draw and rivered a set. Its a crying call.

Thanks for your replies everyone!

@Disharmonist, miami002: You don't think there is a good chance he will BF 99 and 77? The hand converter does not show it (maybe there is an option I did not see?) but after his bet there is still >80bb effective left in his stack.

@plolernerguy: What worse hand are you looking to get called by?

@sorcloud: The meaning is that LPs don't usually bluff, esp. without any prompt, that's why they are LPs.

there is 1 combo of AA / KK each which he could limp call with, however he raises by the turn 100% of the time OOP, and he shouldnt get to river with any 77 unless its ak77 ? we just cant ever fold there, its just not an option as his line makes zero (0) sense

Just to quickly wrap this hand up I think the consent is to call which I agree with and which is what I did do in the hand. I don't think the other options should be dismissed instantly but you would probably need a much better read on V to take either of them.
