Bet the river. Everything else is fine.

One good thing about betting is that you'll get paid off by a worse hand.

One bad thing about betting is that you'll be really annoyed if you're raised.

your suggesting i bet the river when i was 3 bet on the flop and then check raised on the turn? that seems a little much? reraising (4 betting) the flop was pushing it, then i am check/raised on turn, you still bet the river? doesn't it seem one pair is weak vs this much action?

i wouldn't bet, unless you're sure enough that you can fold to a raise. BB looks like he has 99, and checking again to hope that someone has a 7 or gets stupid and bets with A high.

I think you played it well. It's hard to believe the SB would check AA or 99 on the river, with two likely overpair callers waiting to do their thing. Maybe the SB thinks you have AA and got tricky on you with 99, but right now I think you split the pot with SB's KK, with the button holding maybe QQ.

The river check behind makes me think you are ahead. However, you cant know that until they check behind, given all the action. Hard to believe that someone would have played QQ that agressively live, when it seems obvious it is beat.

the results are that KK won a big pot. BB J9h (top pair on the flop), button AK (no improvement), all in caller 4h3s (no improvement). If this is 40/80 what are low limit games like?

Your play sounds good, pay off the AA and pray to see QQ or JJ.

looks fine. you cant bet this river, you may easily fall into 3checkraises.
