Do I need to call the river with KK here?

[True]

if u are sure he calls a psr-r pf, why didn't you do it?

The 9T draw missed

That draw actually did get there on the river. Either way, I'd still call this river given how you underrepresented your hand and you're getting good odds on the river call.

oh yeah lol.

You definitely have to call the river as played, but a check-raise all-in on turn would've been even better as by that point the pot is so big he's calling with many worse made hands + draws.

If you're afraid that re-raising pf with define your hand too much, you need to simply start 3-betting more often with a wider range against aggressive opponents that like to steal. Tough in the beginning, gets hugely profitable as you go along and get better.

I checked the flop for pot control. (obviously it did not work).

Does betting the flop really prevent me from losing my stack here?

All I think betting the flop does is make him fold when he has nothing, and I still lose all my money when he has either AA, QQ, JJ or QJ.
