Scary AA hand...

Do I need to raise the turn here and then check/call river if capped?

Now that I think about it, maybe I should not have bet the river... because any hand less than my two pair will probably fold to my bet anyway...

People with big pairs like AA and KK do this a lot. Someone raises a scary turn card and they slow down (rightfully slow) but why do they lead out the river again as if they suddenly think their hand is good on the river again? Can someone please explain? [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I think Hero is hoping the second K forfeited BB's weird two-pr hand. Which I doubt happened, I'd go for check/call on the river.

I am doing this still a lot. I am a non-believer and think the raise bluffed me and want to find out if he was serious plus bluff him back. Well, one more of my big holes...
