Default Re: Mirage 20/40 - Is waiting to raise the river here a mistake?

In my original version of this post I indicated the result of the hand since I was mainly concerned about the question of where to put in the last raise (turn or river). But then I excluded it because I was slightly curious whether anyone would think I made a mistake on the river. Maybe I didn’t explain my read on this guy well enough. Given my read on the player, most likely semi-pro, tight aggressive player I gave him a huge hand. Like I said I’m pretty sure I played with him before and he plays solid. He’s not 3 betting out of the SB with KT or any hand that contains a 6. So what hands can this guy 3 bet me with on the river? He’s not doing it with AA or AK. When he goes 3 bets on the river he has to have KK or else he’s being really really creative. And although I give this guy respect I don’t think most live 20/40 players are capable of bluffing here. I know it’s not good to make big laydowns in massive pots but here I was sure enough that I thought a laydown was correct. One other thing is after I raised the river the guy was crazy shaking all over the place when he 3 bet. I didn’t mention this originally since I didn’t want people to focus on this and think I was making a laydown based mostly on the fact that a guy was shaking rather than other factors. So the shaking along with everything else (read on player, play of hand...he 3 bet pre, he check 3 bet the flop and craised me on the turn and I still raised the river then he raises again) made me sure I couldn’t beat anything. The SB flashed me KK…
