NL25 set Aces facing river checkraise

[lastdayever]

hey guys, this is my first post. i have been lurking on 2p2 for some time now and decided to grind some nl25 and post some hands.

i guess the river is a no-brainer. anyway how much do you bet here (i guess i was betting way too weak) and do you call any checkraise???
