Hero is on the button, so BB may suspect a steal, though unlikely given the read on him being tight preflop.

On the turn there are two flush draws on the board, if he had a set would he really check and min-raise, risking giving such a cheap draw at it !? Maybe.

People don't think about odds. They think, "Hey, I have a monster, I don't want to chase anyone out, so I'll minraise"

I think your line is ok. I think its an easy fold on the river as only a complete and utter donk plays AA or AK this way.

The only improvement in the line would be to check behind on turn. I know no hands that reraise preflop to 10 BB and checks that board twice that you're beating. So a check on the turn allows some1 just playing back at you preflop to bluff on the river and most importantly to minimise your losses vs KK/QQ.

I think the massive bet on river might be him putting you on the flush, just hit it and he might think that you won't be able to get away from it

Villain's line really looks like he backed into a flush draw on the turn, maybe with a gutshot or a pair too. I wouldnt really worry about KK here, as its very unlikely, but QQ is a possibility. Checking a set here twice is so bad, but I suppose villain could do it. I still hate your river fold. You think you arent good here over 50% of the time.
