could i have played hand better post flop???

lerky

hi 250 guarentee last 10 8 cash both players 20plus bbs deep
i in big blind with aa receive min raise from small blind and decide to just call for deception

board k 10 6 two clubs player leads out half pot i re raise to pot he calls turn card k !
player checks i check back river 10
so board k k 10 10 6 no flush arived he checks so i go 3/4 pot  he waits then min raises i fold!

this seemed to cause a stir on the table and was told i shoulda checked the river but surely if he on draw he folding to my bet plus i was effectively repping the king in the end so y would i check river with the supposide nuts ?

Your first mistake was not raising pre IMO, you wanna be trying your best to get it all in pre when you have AA and it's usually easier with 20xBB when someone has already shown an interst.

Once he bet flop, I'd just shove.

No point making him fold when he has a draw because you'd be bluffing with the best hand. You could possibly check if you did have the K to let him bluff with all his missed draws. If he has a missed draw, you get called 0% of the time, but if you check, he probably bets more than 0% of the time. But that's assuming he only has a draw obv.

yer i totally agree with pre flop only reason i flatted is because he was v big stacked so put him on a steal.
i agree now on flop i should have just slammed as you say he shown an interest in the flop ie either the flush draw or hit top pair so would of got the call either way.
originally my thoughts were was i wrong to check back on turn as if i did have king and hit 3 of a kind why would i check back with a flush draw on the board.
thats what makes me think he may not have had the f/h and just saw my check as weakness ie putting me on that draw .then allowing me to stab at the river by checking it.
v interesting cheers

I was talking with about this at the time in the chat box because of your comment 'at least I knew where i stood on the river' or sumat like that. I said at the time you where better off check/calling or check folding river, rather than bet/folding. You are only ever beating a bluff and with him calling your check raise on the flop he's most likely got a 10 or a K and trying to rep the bigger FH isn't going to work with the action in the hand already. Even if he's got a 10 he's still gonna call so all your betting options here are going to see you lose chips.
 It was nice to have a grownup conversation about the hand in the chat box cos usually I get told to F off or summat similar when I try to talk about hands.

Pre can be good depending on reads

Prob c/f river, definitely don't lead
