As played, I would have bet the flop here after he checks to me.

Also, if you don't 4 bet kings, what are you four betting? think flatting pre is a real big mistake here.

This looks like a time to make a massive pot pre when you have second best hand.

i mean, as played, river fold is probably correct. But, I play it differently on every street.

I think pre and flop are wp. You can actually fold the turn already, don't think they are betting worse for value and they would have bluffed on the flop if they had air.

Of course 99% of the time I would 4bet KK, but i decided to flat as a CO vs SB 3bet range. I tried to play it tricky if no Ace on flop I would get value from all of his air, but there was an Ace and interestingly he checked flop which made me believe he may have flopped 2 pair+.
