Default extracting the most chips with a monster

Early in the tournament. nothing known about the players at the table. I'm curious if there is a better way to play the monster here.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

MP2 (t1240)
Hero (t1440)
Button (t1430)
SB (t1860)
BB (t4710)
UTG (t1480)
UTG+1 (t1450)
MP1 (t3080)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t80</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls t60.

Flop: (t170) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks.

obviously I own the hand, now how do I get the most possible chips from here? My thought was to check to the river, hope he catches something and then check raise.

Turn: (t170) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks.

River: (t170) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB bets 60, Hero raises to 420, BB calls t420

Final Pot: t1010

OBV witht this hand your gonna sit on it and see what comes on turn/river. I think you played it pretty nicely. although id say in the future, that river raise was a bit too big. usually its best to extract 250 chips there, since you can get 250, a higher % of the time than say 500...

If you think you can get 250 30% of the time, then the % you can take 500, would have to be more than 15% of course.

well played. usually when you have AA and flop quads your not gettin paid squat. so anytime you can extract chips is good.

Villain will probably value his king higher if you make a T100 C bet, since you probably would slow play trip aces or a boat.

I would Bet flop, if he calls, I can check behind on turn, encouraging him to make a valuebet on the river, which I can raise.

I like the overbet on the river.
