Too aggressive with AKs?

Villain is 22/2.5/0.95 - semi-loose/passive, but not too passive.

I think I got carried away on this one. His modest aggression preflop and flop made me think he had QQ/JJ, although I didn't rule out AK/AQ. The double check raises on the end though made me think I'd been set up.

I'm thinking KQ here, I'd just call his turn check/raise, check the river if he tries to cehck-raise again, call if he bets.

Q1: how many hands have you seen villian for.... what will he raise here... his pf-raise standards seem very high... but this could just be a matter of small sample size.

preflop: nice
flop: great like the raise

i'd bet the turn as well, but when c/r'ed expect to be looking at AA or KK or AK especially with how passive this player is

from the c/r call down...

I don't see anything wrong with 3-betting the river...

hmmm. I think if you check behind on the river you are missing out on some extra $$. I call the turn check raise and bet the river if checked to. Call if he check/raises.

i might even go far enough to say that I would raise a river bet (if bet into). It's not likely he has AA or KK.

What are we infront of that our villian check-raises on the river with?

About 20 hands at this point was all I had on him. Only got 50 hands on him for the whole night - he didn't stick around long.

FWIW, I would have played it the same. No way I check the river through.

You and I think alike...not sure if that's comforting or scary [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]. AA is exactly what he had. If he'd 3-bet me on the flop I'd have played this so very differently.
