The raiser only has 35 or so BBs.

Your goal shouldn't be to "look weak" when you have the nuts, it should be build the pot. Check out my Getting Paid series for more on this.

i had around 75 bb's......yes 45s etc in general is bad oop.. however inan 4 max game or with my stack size i think its ok to flat there to see a flop... its the perfect hand to bust aces/kings with etc the ONLY way i continue if if i flop a staight or flush draw which i did..

I check flop bcoz i was OOP.. see if got any action.... folded back to me i sized my bet fairly small to build up a bit of a pot looking weak before i make a move on the river, i wanted called with any weak ace.. yes i could have bet turn there bit bigger buit IMO that looks super strong and they may have folded right there , i wanted my bet just to look like a probe bet...

This isn't a hand that plays well out of position or with shallow stacks. Also, bet bigger on the turn. You say you were "setting up" a river bet, but... you checked? You're much better off just betting here yourself. I'd encourage you to watch my Getting Paid series for more on why you should bet the river, and also bet bigger on the turn.

the guy that Reraise that river bet was very agro however he knew when to pull the breaks esp. in pot vs me as i called him out few times but he never went over the top like that..

i was setting up amassive river bet myself untill this happened possibly 1 of the best or worst lay-downs ive made..

i found out that the other guy folded an ace. so he either flopped a set or sick bluff which  i doubt after size of that river bet
