This is a poor idea. Please don't do this if you wish to become a winning poker player.

all this talk about 3-betting is nonsense.

if he is on a bluff, he will likely fold to a 3-bet. if he's ahead, he call or even re-raise.

OK, Here is my thinking, please hit me with a stick:

1.) Button Cold Called PF. (AK is not that likely, K8s & K5s maybe)
2.) Flop is two tone with an A. (Ax X>8 will show up, 55, 88 maybe here or on the turn.)
3.) Turn is 2c, (If he has A2, A5, 55, 88, 22 will show up here)
4.) No action from Button until the K hits.

So I put him on a K, and since he called with a naked K all the way, I figure he will pay off with K pair.

AS my post count shows, I am a newbie, I am here to learn, so hit me.

If the button is loose, suited Ks are not unlikely at all. K8o is also not unlikely..

makes sense, so lets assume he doesn't have you beat on the flop or turn.

The question is, will he raise with 2nd pair after he saw out hero bet into him on every street. Even very aggressive players won't raise here with something that doesn't beat a pair of Aces.

I deem this highly unlike with that A sitting on the board.

Thank you for the comment, I agree raising is very risky. Calling is the standard play.

I think He was thinking hero is betting a busted heart draw, which a lot people does, or betting mid pair against another draw all the way. This is HU, most poeple do.
Button made a mistake of raising, instead of calling, with his bluff catcher hand.

Standard. There aren't that many players that will bluff raise on the river here, and usually they hit a 2-pair or set on the turn or river, or slowplayed it from the flop. I'm pretty skeptical when I'm raised on the river HU so I usually call (fairly large pot for 1BB closing action and the chance of having the best hand still), and its good to get information to see if this guy really likes to chase. Then I post a note on the villain so he doesn't do it again (whatever 'it' is).
