Default KK in tough spot

This is very read dependent, sorry for long description. I play w/villain on a regular basis. He is a solid TAG, who lately became very aggressive raising w/ any 2 cards from late position if folded to him and keeps firing if misses. I play back at him a lot. He believs (somewhat correcly) that I take too many liberties preflop b/c I think I am able to outplay the rest of the table postflop. He also believes (incorrectly) that I am currently steaming b/c I just lost a HUGE pot in hi-lo Stud with rolled up trips (the best possible starting hand by far -- like flopping set of Aces).

Folded to villain in CO who raises. An aggro moron button thinks and calls. I 3 bet in SB w/K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. BB folds, villain caps, button folds, I call.

flop A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I check call.

Turn 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

I check, CO thinks a bit and bets. He doesn't Hollywood, I am sure he doesn't have a flush.

He doesn't call raises lightly and releases a lot on a turn if thinks he's beat. However, he knows that I know that. He also saw me c/r semibluff a couple of times.

If he has a naked Ace, what's more likely to work -- c/r turn or blank river bet or both? What's the best play EV-wise if he doesn't have an Ace?
What should I do on the turn/river?

Its just you and him to the flop right?

Looks like wa/wb. I would call this down all the way. If you are ahead since hes aggro let him 3 barrel you down to river, Plus u have a bdfd to bail you out if your behind.

Call turn.

Trying get someone to fold trip aces is usually an expensive and futile proposition

I don't see anything but calling down here - he either has an ace or you're crushing him. If he does have trips, why pay three bets to see if you make a flush or kings full? If he has something weak, why make him fold it when he might bluff again if you check?

Wait, your plan is to get him to fold 3 aces? God bless you.
