My read on the guy is he limp calls a lot of hands, including weak Ax. Also, another hand he checked down bottom pair in a multiway pot. How would you guys play this hand? Any comments on the sizing? I don't think folding is a question on flop, but how do you proceed? Anything about the hand is open to criticism!

My initial raise would have probably been 20k larger one more for the SB limp and an extra for being OOP, but other than that I think that the pre-flop is okay. My initial impression is FD on the flop so I agree with betting (probably would have gone more toward 60-75% of pot). He re-raises and then I have to stop and think about what I've seen. If you have history with him not being able to get away from hands then I may slide into a punishing mode. I would bet the turn, no need to avoid value here since your hand is pretty strong. Once the river hits I am thinking hard to myself how much KJ is in his range, if it is good then I am going to be pissed as all hell and will probably fold. If it is a small chance that is in his limping range then I call for value.
Easy call. If you don't want to call a big bet on the river, you can just blockbet the river for 115k and fold to a raise.

I call. Hand plays like a missed flush draw. I think a weaker Ace bets the Turn but maybe not.
Can't picture myself being that worried here. If he binked 2 pair on the river, whatever…

love your line
I agree, either a bricked club draw or probably Ax. You said he likes to limp A-rag so he could have 2 pair but I don't think you can really fold that flop to that kind of opponent, you're going to be good soooo much of the time. Like the pot control.

Yeah the turn check is the key here. You check for pot control and to open up his bluff/showdown range on the river. I probably bet the river once he checks behind the turn he's never better than you here unless he got lucky on the river. That said, I think checking is also fine but it might be a missed value spot (obv not in this case because he bet into you).
