Default Too weak w/ AK? $100 NL

Villian in this hand is 48/18/4 over 30ish hands. Not many hands, but hes been really agressive, as his stats dictate.

In looking back on the hand, I feel like I played it way too passively. However, his reraise preflop made me put him on a premium hand (AA-JJ, AK). Looking back, I most likely shouldn't have given him so much credit for his hand strength. Regardless, on that flop I'm ahead of just one of those hands (QQ) and I'm splitting with another AK.

His weak flop bet made me think that he had flopped a monster and was trying to keep me in the hand. Instead of raising (would that be good?), I decided to call and reevaluate on the turn. His turn check made me fairly confident that I either had either the best hand or that I was drawing close to dead and he was hoping I'd take a stab at the pot.

His 1/6th pot bet on the river solidified in my mind that I had the best hand. I can't see him betting small on the river with something like AA or KK and hoping I'll raise, given how passively the hand has been played out. So I raise, but how much? Thanks for all your suggestions on the hand. I definitely feel like I missed a lot of value on this hand due to my passiveness early on.

A LAG like your opponent doesn't only reraise preflop with QQ+. Be more aggressive here. There's a good chance you're ahead.
