i probably would have put him all-in on the flop. because i think he's in one of two situations....

either he has a lower pair....QQ-TT....or a mediocre Ace of some sort....probably A-J/A-T...maybe even a weaker ace....not out of the question for some of the yahoos at the $20NL prima games. if you're going to play your KK to the point where he's all-in anyway....the flop is the only point where the pot is small enough in relation to his stack for him to have any reasonable chance of folding an Ace, and i have seen tons of people on Prima call big bets on Ace-high flops with pocket pairs.

assuming that the flop all-in is not your style....i would probably make the same river play you did. i think 50% of the time he'll have a pocket pair....most likely QQ or JJ, and the other 50% he'll have an Ace...and you're getting slightly more than 3-1 on the river bet.....slightly more maybe because he might actually call w/ QQ or JJ sometimes.

Yeah I'm thinking all-in on the flop as well. You don't wanna get bluffed out by something like QQ or JJ on a later street. If he has the ace..well...that's just bad luck.
