obviously we now know the outcome
But, like I said, I see just as many people bady over play AA there and KQ will give enough action on the end - I'd be more inclined to eliminate QQ, but that's not to say QQ doesn't call turn with the lone K due to disbelief and Hero's line on flop.
While I'm not saying to be blind to the notion of other hands out there that beat you, constantly putting opponents on the nutz would mean you're folding most of time unless PO/IO dictate otherwise, i.e. if you put opponents on AA everytime they raised PF you're folding so many more times than saying AA is just one of several hands in their range of which I can several others of the non-AA combos.
Playing fearfully on every street isn't my style even though I realize my hand is not always the best at any given interval. It's successfully matching the confidence to reality that gives me and edge and value in the games where I play.
