Default KK runs into an A (shorthanded)

UTG is very loose and doesn't raise much. Button isn't quite at loose and is more aggreesive. Postflop he'll bet a weak hand if no-one has shown aggression or the aggressor slows down.

If they call with any part of the board it's an easy bet. The only thing you may have to worry about is that Ace may have 2 paird someone (is anyone really calling a naked ace to the river?) I think you can bet/fold the river.

Bet. There's no reason to think that anybody has an ace. The fact that they both called the turn on this somewhat uncoordinated board is an affirmative reason to think that they *don't* have an ace.

If the flop had been two-tone and the play went like this, you'd have to hate the ace on the river because anybody with the nut flush draw just outdrew you, and that would be a logical hand for one of the villains to hold. But that's not the case here. The only way this card hurts you is if it gave villain a two-pair with his Ax, in which case he'll raise and you'll fold or if somebody was mindlessly ace-chasing against a preflop raiser. Either way, there's no way to save a bet by checking so you might as well bet yourself.

bet and reduce the guesswork. see above.

fyi button read suggests he bets a pair in this spot when checked to but this is 3 way.

I suppose hero could check and call one back to him when button bets. I think our hand is good enough give pot size to call a single bet on the river here but since we has a hand that gets paid off but worse pair hands alot i think must be betting.

Like almost everyone else said this is a standard B/F situation. If you get called I expect to have the best hand. If raised, its an easy chuck.
