Villian just sat down, no reads.

Call down. I don't like slowplaying AA on king high boards, it inevitably nets me the least when I try to raise the turn.

I call down without reads and take notes, but it would seem as though villain has you beaten.

What's with not raising flop?

I knew I'd get some flack for not popping this on the flop. I usually do raise this on the flop, but I change it up sometimes. Obviously my intention was to raise it on the turn.

I would call down, but I think you're in trouble. Villain was likely inspired to go for the turn screwplay because the card that fell improved him greatly. (That is, I doubt he has AK. I'd be sort of relieved to discover he just had KQ, actually.)

I don't have any problems with waiting to raise, but king high flops will net you 1 less SB a ton of the time.

A lot of the time, Villain bets the flop because he wants you to raise. Give him what he wants then cap him when he 3-bets.
