This hand is played after around 1hour of playing and still in the late reg period.
BB stats after 43 hands are: VPIP 30 PFR 21 Limp 0 Post Flop AGG 1.60 and 3-bet 5

Should I bet the turn and the raise the river?

I would most likely just bet the turn and river for thin value, but if you check the turn I would just call the river. No need to change your hand in to a bluff with 2 pair. I don't think a weaker hand will call the river raise.

Well played I think.
I like the turn check — the card doesn't scare you much, and it helps induce BB to bet the river.
It is interesting that BB can play like this with merely a weak ace.

Also thanks for showing us a KK hand that doesn't have an Ace on the flop — it gives us hope :coolface:
