Villain was 32/21/1.36 over 100 hands and ck/raises flop twice as often as he folds to a c-bet, he c/raises turn 50% more often than he folds turn.

My thinking was what could he cap with that included an A while probably not having a K or Q in his hand either? So I put him on KJs+, KQ, or 66+, thinking he might fold a medium pair

Once he bet called me I was really having trouble with following up (probably a decent reason not to attempt this?)

My own table image was good being 35/18 and up 7 big bets so far

This is not a board I like to try and bluff people off. From my expierence people just call down with anything K high or better. Also he is showing alot of strength by capping you. Very unlikely to get someone to fold 66+ here.

Also King high as a ton of showdown value here. I think as played I would check the river

I think its a spew, there is nothing he is folding that arent already ahead of, i would really like a call down though

it kind of reminded me of watching the videos and seeing random opponents trying "free showdown" raises and Entity and rest mentioning how bad it was.

Well, this time 'I' was that random guy. I checked behind, and he showed JJ so he was going nowhere.....

So I put him on KJs+, KQ, or 66+, thinking he might fold a medium pair

I think this is a pretty optimistic range. He seems like a reasonable player and capped OOP in a three-handed pot. I would imagine his range to be heavily weighted towards strong pairs and big aces. KQo and KJs is doubtful at best. Even if he has a king-high in his range here, he's likely seeing showdown as allstarrt mentioned.

I vote spew

I think his capping range is just too strong and SD bound for this to work. Also, how did you intend to react to a 3-bet?
