In hindsight I think I can call after the river raise, possibly even the turn 3 bet....

How do others see it?

c/r the flop, dont give him a chance to get away from a hand that missed this flop for free.

The way you played it makes it very hard to put him on a hand, obviously a slowplayed AK is the only hand we are worried about. This being 1/2 im going to war on every street. But it would easier to slow down if the flop and turn got capped and he still raises the river- then i would prob just call.

Id prob just call the river raise like u said really just in fear of AK, I also may try and C/R the flop.

I think you should have folded PF.

Fold preflop because you will often be calling down with a worse king.

If villain is aggressive I like the flop if you intend to 3-bet. Checkraising may be better because he may fear two pair hands and not raise but will definitely bet the flop.

I would bet the turn because he may fear a straight and check behind.
