I bet $45 and fold to a raise. I’m very afraid here.

I’d actually probably check raise here because I’d be so confident in my AAs being good. I’d put my opponent on a hand like 66.

Gotta represent the king. You’re invested in the pot. Your opponent will play back at you if he has it. Why not try and take down the pot. He could call u down with a medium pair. Keep the pressure on. It’s easy to fold if he comes back at you

How does betting “represent the king” here? I think a king is checking in this spot most of the time trying to represent that they missed the flop and are giving up after their continuation bet failed. I think a bet here screams “I don’t have the king.”

I would check /call here. Also, the check/call should look very scary and suspicious to your opponent so I think you can safely check/fold the river unless you have a read that your opponent would bet a small PP or even air. In that case I throw out a small blocker bet that discourages the bluff and even though it looks like a K wanting to get paid off… a small PP might pay you off anyways.
