I think that if I believe calling the river headsup with King high is correct, I am better off if I instead bluff raise every time that situation happens.

For calling with K high to be correct you're either doing it for value (you believe it's the best hand often enough to call based on pot odds, but not enough as to raise) or just to force a showdown for some reason. The latter case seems unlikely, I'd guess.

In the first case, a raise makes sense if you feel that the added fold equity overcomes the chance you lose the extra BB. Gut feel indicates that in a large pot (pretty much the only times you'd call with K high, no?), the added few percent of time you get them to fold their A-high could make it worthwhile.

Pretty much. Though it's not just ace high. Sometimes they may have like 44 on a T9875 board and think they are bluffing.
