How do you play the river when your opponents *know* your hand?

[Depraved]

True enough, and of course there will always be callers even if they know you have AA- your post is a shining example of that. I couldn't fathom a noshow on the river for one more bet, so I didn't see much relevance in this line of thought to begin with (especially with 5 players)... it didn't seem like the important issue at hand.

IMO, whether or not worse hands will call here is of minor importance. In this situation, I'd be more concerned about the money already in the pot than the bets I may or may not collect if I'm ahead.
