This is Villain's 10th button. He has previously raised four of those buttons to 3x and folded the remaining five. This hand he reduces his raise size to 2x...This is only the second flop we have seen. He called OOP first hand with K4s (I had K4o) and the board ran out AK52A. I delay cbet the turn and passively checked the river, seeing a showdown with a small pot. Of the other nine buttons, he has folded to all seven of my raises (I folded twice pre). What action should I take on the flop and what is the thought process?No Limit Holdem Tournament • 2 Players$22+$1Hand converted by the official HUSNG.com hand converterBBHero1450 SBpo77a1550 Effective Stacks: 73bbBlinds 10/20

I would do pot bet or 1/2. So I think you played it good.
Given that we are completely readless with his postflop play IP, i will consider to check here first time.
I think the K4 hand gives us a slight indication that he is not aggressive and may check back a lot more hands on this flop than the average aggressive player.As such, I think your flop lead here is valid. It's not to say a check is bad, but with a slight indication that you'll get a check back a high % of the time, that leads me to believe that leading for value is the better play.He's also playing a lot of buttons, so weaker pairs and draws are completely in his hand range here, making the potential value of leading fairly good compared to that of a tighter button raiser (considering he's folded a lot OOP preflop, I would not be surprised if naked over cards were high % folds from this player when facing a lead).
