The river raise doesn't make any sense in this spot. If you think you are good (which you obviously do) you need to 3-bet the turn to charge the BB to draw against you. Against an all-in player, you should be looking to jam the pot as early as possible since his betting and raising standards are lower then someone with a ton of bets behind the line. He is just looking to get all-in with marginal hands, and that is fine, but you have to get the most out of anyone else in the pot who is looking to draw against your pair of kings. Sometimes you will end up losing to the all-in player, but that is poker. 3-betting the turn here is far and away the correct play.
