pocket Aces, two Kings on flop

I thought I would check raise the flop here, assuming that it would get reraised for sure if someone had trips. Any thoughts on how this should be played otherwise?

I like it. I worry about CO's call on the turn, if he had the 9 put him on ur buddy list.

I don't like this c/r on the flop. There's no reason to face the field with two bets. You are WAY ahead of anyone that doesn't have a king, so don't scare them away from putting money into the pot.

i agree with this, you are either may ahead, or way behind, so i wouldn't go for the check raise. hopefully you caught someone bluffing, and they will keep betting. I would probably go for the check raise on the turn, or the river, depending on my read of the player.

FLOP and TURN: I like. It's less likely anyone has a King since there are two on the board. You have decent chances of likely having the best hand here.

RIVER: I don't like the bet when another nine shows up. If CO wasn't sticking with you with a King, he may very well have been staying with a nine and just made a full house. If he had a pocket pair like TT, JJ or QQ, he would have been likely to raise it preflop I would think. I prefer Check/Call here. I see CO didn't raise you. Even with the nine, he might have put you on a King and thus called. If you had checked, he might have checked it through with a 9 over King boat anyway, fearing that you might check-raise. Thus you might be able to save a bet here if thats what he has.

Edit: It didn't register with me at first that you check-raised the flop. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

After I 3-bet preflop and get a flop like this (only 5 cards that conenct somehow with this board) I lead the flop myself.

I play situations like that the same. If my check-raise is replied with a reraise, I know i might be in trouble and perhaps have to give up my hand. I don't see how one can play this situations diffrently.
