Opponent was unknown. I decided to check back the flop because my hand is too strong to waste on a bet/fold line but the board invites check raises because it's so dry and unusual. Aces still make up alot of most people's ranges even with the card removal effect. I had a look at equilator when reviewing the hand. On a board of AA8, 26.8% of the range {77+,A7s+,K9s+,QTs+,JTs,ATo+,KTo+,QJo} has trips or better
On the turn I checked again because there are basically no scare cards and, again, I was afraid of a check/raise. I only want one street of value from my kings here. Is that too conservative? On a JJ2 board I would probably try for more value from TT, but that's because jacks are less likely to be in my opponent's range than aces.
On the river it's a snap fold in my (revised) opinion. Can I call a pot sized bet? Three quarter pot? My main query though is whether I should bet/fold anywhere here or whether such a passive line is okay.
