Re: PS11: Comment on Vilain...
Villains min raise is what a lot of inexperienced (and some experienced) players do when they get a monster PF hand (QQ+). They realize it's not usually good to limp with them, but they don't want to scare everyone out. So they do the next best thing (in their mind), they min raise. This is why a min raise can be a pretty good indicator of KK+, sometimes QQ.
When you reraised him (still too small for what you had), you put him in a position where he figured he had reeled in a fish, and didn't want to let you off the line too quickly. Every bet from Flop to River is being called by Villain because he truely believes he has you beat. He lets you bet into him thinking about what a great surprise it will be when you flop over AQ (or something to that order) and see you ran into cowboys. This is just how people at this stage of Poker development think.
9/10 times, unless you have a great read on your opponent.. you are going broke if you have KK, and Villain has AA. The 1 time you don't go broke is when Villain makes his set of Aces, and you know enough to get out with that overcard flop.
As for your betting line, as everyone has said.. Raise more PF (like to at least 120-160). Really bet more on the Turn (closer to 3/4 pot), and most certainly pot it on the River. By the river you should actually be AI if you bet correctly on the previous streets.
