If you are not going to bet when you flop the nuts when are you going to bet ? Pot every street (except river, spade is ugly) and make villan pay, no one can fold top pair at this level. Did he make two pair on the river ? I wouldn't worry about pumping the river too much here.

Raise the flop to 6, bet between 2-3 pot and 3/4 pot on turn. Calling his lead on river is fine, but if you did wahat i said most of the money would already be in.

I usually come out firing w/ the nuts, but i played it pretty slow because his 1 dollar bet made me feel like he wasnt holding a very strong hand.(thought it was a Cont bet w/ AK/AJ) after he called my raise i was really thinking AJ/tpwk(yes im certain he would call a reraise w/ AJ), and wanted to sell my hand on the turn. but I could have definitly gotten more out of him.
