How would you play this? Hero has his opponent pegged as a rock (<10% flops seen, almost never raises)

5-10 @ Taj last night. Folded to hero in LMP with 77. Hero limps, CO limps, SB completes, BB (Rock) raises, all call. Rock MUST have JJ-AA, AK, AQs or AJs

- (8 SB) for a flop of K K 7 (red)

SB checks, Rock bets I raise (smooth call better?), fold, fold, rock calls.

- (12 SB) to the turn heads up (K K 7) x

Rock checks and calls

- (16 SB) to the river (K K 7) x K

Rock check raises.

I know I'll get the "it depends" answer, but do you, in gereral, make the crying call here? I was 85% sure he held AK. I also knew he saw me as just another "aggrissive kid", and he possibly thought his AQs was good. I feel I am wasting money with crying calls lately, how often do you make them in general? Especially when you are 85% or more sure you are beat....

Thanks in advance...results to follow

He has a King. Rocks do not often make check raise bluffs.

Check the river.

What could you possibly beat now that the 3rd King has counterfieted your full house? AK, AA, QQ, JJ even TT-88 all have you beat.
