Could this have ended any other way?
I'm playing in a .25/.50 cash game. Four handed.
I have KQ off
I'm SB. UTG folds, Button folds. I'm not looking to get aggresive off the bat so I call the BB.
BB Raises to $2 total. That's pretty much the minimum for pre-flop raises in this game, and I call.
Flop comes KK2. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I check. BB bets $2. I call.
Turn 6.
I check, BB bets $6. I raise to $20, he goes all in, I call.
He turns over AA.
and an Ace comes on the river.
Now, assuming that I don't fold to the small raise pre-flop, could this have ended any other way?

If he came in over the top, I am probably out of there (not sure about your read on him though).
After the flop, it pretty much played itself out.

You got him to commit his whole stack, you outplayed him with the better hand.
Sounds like a bad beat story...wheres the bad beat police when you need em.
A) I never raise with it unless I"m in LP
This has kept me out of trouble in the low limit cash games.
Not your fault thought. If you feared anything and you just wanted to take the pot down, you could have made a monster bet or check-raising at the flop rather than checking. I don't think there would have been anything to stop the AA from calling.
Just my two cents.
When the big money went in you were 95% to win. You had the "no-limit dream come true." Sadly, our dreams are shattered (in this case) about 5% of the time.
