The turn is an easy cap. You have a set heads up and no straights or flushes are possible. I cannot believe people would slow down here.

This is close to what I was thinking at the time. I figured if I was behind, villian had to have KK (6 ways) or 99 (same). He could easily have had AA/QQ/JJ/TT or possibly lower pocket pairs, if he figured I was stealing, but his PFR% was high enough that I couldn't rule out a non-paired hand with at least one broadway card, most likely a king.

His flop bet/3-bet suggested to me that he had A-high broadway and he put me on a pure steal, but there was (in my mind) only the remotest of possibilities I was behind at this point. I didn't rule out big pocket pairs either.

His turn action had me leaning towards AK and KK alone, with a remote possibility of something like AA or KQ or KJs. Still, if I only give him AK and KK, I'm ahead 2/3rds of the time (12 AKs vs. 6 KKs); I'd discounted 99 by that point, since I figured he would be seeing monsters against my possible KK and have slowed down himself.

When he checked on the river I was 99% sure MHIG, since I hadn't seen him check raise at all. Figured he was thinking I had a 9 at that point.

As it turns out, he had AA and MHI indeed G.
