PLO2 - AAss on BT

Blinds: $0.01/$0.02 (6 Players) BN: $4.87 (Hero)
SB: $5.21
BB: $13.34
UTG: $3.69
MP: $1.95
CO: $1.74
Preflop ($0.03) Hero is BN with A K A 5
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.07, SB calls $0.06, BB folds
Flop ($0.16) K T 4
SB bets $0.15, Hero calls $0.15
Turn ($0.46) K T 4 6
SB bets $0.44, Hero folds
SB is loose and passive pf but fairly agro post flop. He may see the button raise as a steal and think that his KK is good. On the other hand if he has 2 pair or a FD I'm not in great shape on this board. Can I just call him down instead of folding? Should I have raised on the flop?
Final Pot SB wins $0.44
Rake is $0.02

The other thing is that when I pot it pf with AA, get caller(s) and a K comes on the flop I always think that KK is a logical hand to call a big pf raise with. I'm always nervous about trip Ks. Is this irrational?

Being aware of KK's in their range is a good thing, but you do sound a little bit fearful which is likely overweighting their range in your mind with top sets on all K hi boards! Makes sense because KK is a great hand to flat at all stakes, but in the long run if this misperception goes unchecked you'll get yourself in a lot of trouble on these and other boards since it'll probably carry over to other textures.

I think reminding yourself of all the heaps of other kinds of hands in his range would be a good exercise to get this top set funk outta your system. I would take a piece of paper and write down a bunch of one pair hands villain can have on each line in order to start re-calibrating the way you look at ranges on K hi boards. So for KT4cc you got AKQ4s, KJJ9, KQQ3, QQJ5, TJ78, AJT3, etc. Do it by hand because stuff seems to stick better that way.

As played, no reason to raise flop and good fold on the turn.
