Default Ace magnets work again

Villain and I are both TAGy and been going at it a tiny bit preflop, but nothing major. I've 3bet him a few times preflop and he's folded a few times. Once he 4bet and I folded. Not got in a pot together on the flop really.

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $1/$2 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

Hero (SB): $218.80
BB: $181.40
UTG: $405.65
CO: $605.35
BTN: $197.00

Preflop: Hero is dealt K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5 Players)
2 folds, <font color="red">BTN raises to $7.00</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $26.00</font>, BB folds, BTN calls $19.00

Flop: ($54) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $36.00</font>, <font color="red">BTN raises all-in to $171.00</font>, Hero.....?

How do you think he'd play AK, pre and post?

No [censored] way can you call this. He has AJ+ or a set like 80% of the time. It obviously looks bluffy to you because you would call with sets and Aces on the flop a lot, but a lot of TAGgy players will shove.

I've really struggled with what to do on this flop in the past (bet/fold or check/call). Its really tough because we are inducing a bluff with a hand that can't stand more than one street of heat, but we're turning a hand with very decent showdown value into a complete bluff (except for the rare times he wants to peel one with his JJ or has a fd or w/e). Thoughts?

I usually c/c the flop, c/f the turn.

Bet the turn if he checks behind.

I'd prob c/c this given history.

c/c line is better against more solid players.

I like a c/c, but this is pretty obviously a fold.
