So many times I get dealt KK/AA, do the standard stuff preflop and then a seemingly harmless flop comes out. Then villain starts to show a lot of aggression and i can't tell whether i'm facing a set/2P or someone who thinks TPTK is good

4-1 on the turn.. I think it's a call.
Also, what's wrong with getting it AI on the flop?

Anyway, he's keeping the pot small, and you have a hand with good show down value. A river blocking bet for 1/3 the pot, or a call if you think he's going to keep the pot small is +EV I think.

If he tries to make a huge river bet, folding is standard I think.
The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

I'm so calling that turn, you win with a king most of the time, and a queen gives you the nuts (unless backdoor flush completes)

Take one off and you might find out he has something silly and you were still ahead on the turn

 as played i don't mind calling the turn and evaluating the river, however methinks I get it in on the Flop.

I'd call the turn and check fold river if you don't improve.

I'm 3-betting flop there. He could easily have pocket Js or Ts, but in the absence of any specific reads they are such a small part of his range.
