No real reads on villain in early stages.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG ($59.60)
MP ($49.25)
CO ($78.06)
Hero ($46.50)
SB ($69)
BB ($40.82)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A, A.
3 folds, Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, BB raises to $3.25, Hero calls $1.50.

Flop: ($7.25) 4, T, T (2 players)
BB bets $3, Hero calls $3.

Turn: ($13.25) K (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $9, BB calls $9.

River: ($31.25) Q (2 players)
BB bets $20, Hero??

Ok, I'm sure most of you will say re-raise pf and I admit that could have been my downfall in getting caught up in all this. Didn't see the point in raising flop, hoped he would fire again on turn. The more I think about it, the more I think he has KK with that donkish min-raise pf. Thoughts?

You have messed up this hand so badly you may as well call (and I am not kidding). You know you should have 4-bet preflop especially at 50nl.

I would call because you played it so badly -- youa re only beat by a 10 or AJ/J9. Someone with KQ may think they have it, but you'd have Aces and Tens. I don't think he has a 10 the way he played it, so I would only be fearful of a straight.

4 bet pre, re-raise flop, bet pot turn, call river

 I definitely prefer a large 4bet, since his 3bet was very small.

But if you don't 4bet PF you have to make a large raise on the flop. You would still be getting called by J-J - K-K, which make up way more of his range than 10-x.

You also aren't getting much more value out of hands that missed the flop, since you are holding 2 Aces and therefore there are only 5 cards that can come (3 Kings, 2 Aces/4 Kings/1 Ace) that will give you more action. Smaller pairs aren't putting much more money in either, and IMO the flop is the best place to put them in a position to make a mistake.

As played it is very tough not to put him on 10-x or better and i probably pitch the hand without any reads.
