How do you guys like this line?? Obvious alternatives are bet more on the flop, bet turn, push river/value bet river.

Just so you get a understanding of my thinking here, I'd say my opponents range is AK, KK, QQ (maybe middle pair or AQ/AJ). I figure I'm getting it all in no matter what if my oppenent has an A, so by checking the turn, I'm trying to give them a chance to try to steal this pot.

I like the line as long as you're planning a CRAI on the turn. On the river, why aren't you pushing? If he has Ax, he's not folding. If he has anyhting else, he's probably not calling. Also, if i'm doing math correctly, you only had like $30 behind that $100. If he's gonna call $100, i can't see why he'd fold for $130.

yeah, I was doing my best efforts to look weak. But I don't really like it the best either. My question was more on the river, should I bet $50ish trying to get QQ/JJ to call (K on river mighta killed that action) or just push and maximize when (AQ/AJ calls). I'm thinking the later.

I think once that K falls, you're not getting action from QQ or JJ, not that they should've given you action anyway. I'd go ahead and push. If they wanna make a hero call with pocket Tens, good for them. I don't think you're gonna get paid much unless they have an A, and if they have it, they're nto folding anyway.

Just silently pray that they have KK.

The all-in bet probably looks weaker than a value bet.

Hmm I think you should have bet the turn.
