Re: Folding the nuts?
Let's roll the movie back a little further.
If you're really worried about tangling with another big stack, why not bet the flop more aggressively? Bet pot (T2300) or so. He'll read that as you representing a set and not wanting to give him odds to draw out with his A hoping for a K. He'll probably let go of the hand there unless he's also got AK. In which case you end up chopping the blinds.
You don't make a ton of money if you play the hand that way, but you reduce your going-bust risk significantly. And given your big lead over the average stack, there's an argument for wrapping this hand up fast and then going back to your sure-fire moneymaker of grinding down the smaller players steadily, orbit after orbit.
Folding the turn strikes me as horribly weak. Don't play risky hands like AK if you feel compelled to run in such situations.
The river card is a crime against humanity. Sorry to hear abt it. But you did get your money in with the best of it, which is all we can do.
