I had AKo but how come the converter shows AKo twice? For the flop I raised him to protect me from draws and since the turn was a blank card I bet again. The river I called because I didn't think the 7 helped him.

Is raising the flop ok? Won't raising the flop make the weaker A's fold and only let AQo, or set or 3's , K10Spade,A3o, flush draws call me? How do I know when to raise the flop or not?
