This is not my standart line of course

I'm just goofing around a little bit and see what happens.
About preflop: Since it's only 4 handed, his range should be wider than A9o and I have position on him - so I'm fine with calling here from time to time. I had no reads, how he reacts to 3bets and I prefer to find that out with hands like... K6s or so
Well, basically I don't want to rep what I have. I looked him up at tableratings.com and figured he is a winning reg, so he should at least try to read my hand. By raising I rep a flushdraw or a very strong hand (at least 2pair), but never the hand I have, cause a weak A is supposed to call here.
I also thought, that if he has me beat, he'll get a turn bet out of me anyways.
So I hoped, that he thought, that my range is really polarized here and calls me with a pp or a weak A. By checking behind on the turn I basically rep a draw, that is afraid to bet again and hopes to spike one of the outs on the river, so if the river bricks off and he checks to me again, I can make a pretty light value bet.
