Check-raising the flop is done as a function of the assertiveness of the other players. But since you raised out of the sb LOTS of players will suspect a big pair, and rightfully so (would you raise with AK?), so check-raising is not such a good option.


You should BET the river if the lone opponent will call with a stiff T if he has one. Otherwise, you might as well check-raise since the hands he'll call you with he may very well bet himself. Notice that the King on the river SHOULD affect his calling frequency, since surely you started with a premium hand and if you didn't already have a pair you probably just made one.
