Villain is pretty fishy 35/12 and calls to much wts:34

Betting river seems standard in my opinion. But do i fold to a raise?

I'd shove here, there's so many kings in his range for him to call with.

I'd have bet a little more on flop and turn so I could shove river. As played I'd just b/c $19 or overshove.

Even if we are getting a very good price to call off the last we have to evaluate if a pair of aces really are good against a range that is calling three streets and then shoving in the last when we bet the river.

I cant see him shoving anything worse to a river bet but at the same time you are good here like always so i think im getting it in.

I dont think hes ever bluffing this riv so i dont see the point in making a smaller bet and then calling a river shove, your better off just shoving yourself and letting him pay max with his kings

Check/Call. Seems like you don't have a big sample size on this guy. What was his AF? I say this because... if he was somewhat aggressive, he may have raised with a K on the flop? I'd check this river and hope to catch a bluff from AQ/TQ, or some kind of fishy value bet from AJ. With such a small sample size, there's no guarentee he will pay with a hand like AJ or a bare K with a mediocre kicker.

"Dry board" does not mean what you think it means.

Just ship the river, and bet more on previous streets so it's not an overbet when you get there.
