AA check-miniraised on K74 2-flush
1/2 NL. I am effective stack versus main villain with about 220. Main villain appears Chinese in his 30s. He is a more aggressive preflop and postflop than most players at this stakes. Plays a standard game, except except loose preflop. Usually enters for a raise but sometimes limps behind. Has 3! preflop once, but called several times. Seems to raise smaller with weaker hands.
Had HU hand where I bet with 99 on K33,r. He checkraised large and I grumbled but folded. He showed a 3. Another time I over called his flop bet of 8 from the SB in a limped pot with T8o on T73, r. Turn was a 2 bringing in a 2-flush. He bet 50 into about 30, took it and showed T5s for top pair and flush draw.
UTG limps, hero raises to 12 UTG+1 with AhAd, HJ and SB cold call, limper calls. Flop Kd7h4h. x,x,hero bets 20, fold, SB raises to 40, fold, hero calls. Turn is 7d for Kd7h4h7d. SB bets 60, Hero ???

Given the history, calling the turn.
I raise the flop w/ intention of never folding. As played, call. Unlikely he has a flush draw considering we have red Aces, and I don't want to chase him away on the turn.
Please put pot size on each street.
Call, he can be betting for value with worse.
Call and call any river bet or bet if checked to. I don't mind a shove, either, but I'd hate for him to fold.
I thought the 7 was an excellent card for me and I thought I was likely ahead. It makes it a lot less likely he has 77 and reduces K7s if he calls with that preflop. It also counterfeits K4s if that is in his preflop range. The only reasonable set in 44. He isn't bad enough to flat call with KK 4-ways. Plus hard for him to have 2-pair on the choppy board. He could have a flush draw, but I block for nut flush draws and the board blocks a K-high flush draw. He could maybe have 65s if he plays that preflop.
I thought the minraise might be a bluff and he might think I cbet Kxx with a lot of hands that miss. Didn't feel from his bet sizing and reads that he liked the 7.
I thought it was a decision whether to flat call or shove.
Probably flatting turn and basically any river bet. Don’t hate stuffing it OTT either but would have to think about more before fully endorsing that.
I shoved the turn, because there was left than half pot left and there were two possible flush draws. Villain shook is head and folded. Someone said to show a card, and I showed Ad. Someone speculated I had AK or AA.
Thinking I should have flat called, because a pp or pair on the board had 2 outs and a gutshot 4 outs. Nothing really made sense for him to have, so it is possible he had pure air, and thought I was just cbetting Kxx.
