Jim,
I agree with you, this is fairly interesting. My inital instinct was a raise on the river, but...

If BB has QQ or KK the turn/river line is horrible. If BB has J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] etc. he played preflop very oddly. AQ, IMO is also played poorly, by BB, preflop and on the turn (as is KQ).

66 and 55 and other wierd flushes are the only other hands that beat you. In other words, if BB has the best hand I think he played his hand strangely (read: poorly) on most streets. This leads me to believe BB has AK (maybe the other AA)and a raise is reasonable.

Having said that, the river may be a case of hero getting 3bet when beat, and almost never getting called when ahead. Someone with better math could fill in the numbers.

Just my 2 cents,
