This is twice the same hand??? Also please don't post the river here

I would raise 1.25 preflop. I might lead the turn, say 7.50.

Edit: ok you edited

Bigger preflop raise and flop bet.
I hate those annoying small bets, but after a bet and call you are probably beat.
Getting these amazing odds calling would be ok too.

My reasoning is that when a second king arrives there are less chances the guy had a king. I would then fold to a turn reraise.

Anyone think differently?

Trouble is, there are two guys.

I agree with raising it to 1.25 preflop. I don't want a multi-way pot with AA. Your bet on the flop is fine, with two flat calls I don't mind your check/fold on the turn although I might make a check/raise here just to make sure. The CO's $2.50 bet into a $11.85 is pretty weak. If button had a king he probably raises there. Good spot for a check/raise I think.

Good point. I guess my reasoning would work better against one guy. I think bet more preflop/bet more flop makes sense and will make your subsequent decisions easier

It is a terrible spot for a check raise.

With straight and flush draws out there, why is this play so bad? You don't think people are betting small/calling small with an open ender and/or flush draw here? Especially when hero checks the turn basically giving them the go-ahead.

A check-raise is horrid here. A check-raise turns your hand into a bluff, and gets you 3-bet by a king. This is a tiny turn bet, you should call and re-evaluate on the river.
