I think the turn check-raise is pretty good too, and the fact that he doesn't 3-bet says you're probably ahead.

You think it's pretty good because he didn't get 3-bet? Could you guys explain why this is a good checkraise based on the opponent and action leading up to the raise?

Shant is on to something...
What kinds of hands are we up against here against a 16/12 tag which:
1. Give us that much action?
2. Aren't either beating us or tied?
You think we get that many bets from KK? Really?
The point is that playing this hand super aggressively like this is generally going to fold out a lot of worse hands against a TAG (it's a lesser consideration against someone who sucks), and costs us a lot of money when villain has AA for the cooler.
Just because we have such a strong hand does not mean that unbridled aggression is going to win the most money...
(This hand, fwiw, is a very good example of why I DO NOT believe that wa/wb has to be reserved for situations where it's roughly 50/50 we're ahead or behind. Here's we're ahead a ton of the time but the line that probably extracts max. value will often be check-call, check-call, bet).
