AA and KK are still only one pair post-flop. Remember that. I'm probably calling the flop bet and laying down to the turn bet on this one. The flop raise makes me think Villian hit a straight or if not that he thinks I'm bluffing. The turn is just a bad play. Either you Check/raise or lead out to tell if he has a hand of is putting you on a busted AK (everyone thinks you have AK...it's the immortal nuts!) The river goes back to the turn. It's clear you are beat...should never have gotten this far. Determined aggression via value bets is normally a sign of Villian making his/her hand ESPECIALLY when you raised preflop.
