Villain turned over AKd. Given the flush draw I should prolly just call the river. It might have been worse, though, if villain plays his hand like he should have. I never in a million years put him on AK. I had him on an inferior King at worst.
Looks like he was seeing the AA monster under his bed. I do think I would have just called the river bet, given how unaggressive he's been, but it can't be a big mistake to raise trips on the river.

Interesting to conjecture how the play should have gone:
PF: He raises I call. UTG prolly comes along.
Flop: checked to him, he bets, I raise for info. He re-raises, I fold, putting him on AA or AK..
OR
He might just call my raise given he is passive. Then:
Turn: I bet out if he checks figuring him for maybe QQ AQ JJ or something and having called 'just one more' on the flop.. If he leads I prolly call, though he prolly won't given he didn't lead in the actual hand.. If he decides to raise me here I have to decide what he might have that he couldn't r/r the flop. The 3s can't have helped him.
River: same as above, but now I know to just call.
So what it amounts to is a r/r by him on the flop after my raise for info gets me out of there early.
