interesting river spot... commerce 100-200

this happened about a month and a half ago, but it's still bothering me. we're 5-handed at this point and villain in the hand is the small blind, a young asian kid who i had seen hanging out w/ joe cassidy. he could usually be seen wearing some sort of flashy dodgers cap for those of you that play there. he's a very good player. my image is TAG, i think, though it might also be scared money since someone i knew walked by and asked if i was taking a shot.. so the hand:

folded to villain in sb who completes. hero raises w/ KK (suits unimportant). villain calls.

flop is AA2r. villain checks, hero bets, villain calls.

turn is 2. villain checks, hero checks.

river is k. villain bets. what's the plan? comments on other streets appreciated.

As long as you're not worried about giving off some physical tell, raise and fold to 3 bet seems prettyr easonable.

shouldnt it be 4 bet, CALL a 5 bet?

Flop and turn are fine. The play on the river is definitely to call.

Reread the board, yours was my first thought too.

I dont like folding to a 3 bet here as he might try it on here knowing you dont have an Ace.

oh snap.

yeah sry. i was completely confused as to the call responses.

Really? I see this play by fishy playersall the time when they have an ace. No reason for villian not to think hero is capable of it.

why not raise and fold to a 3bet?

Plus there's the question of whether there's that much value in a river raise anyway. A lot of his range is Ax, and another good chunk of it is hands like J9 that were just floating on the flop and hoping to make some sort of play later on (especially if you've been running bad or are seen as scared money).
