When he capped, I put him on a set, but I couldn't rule out a lower pocket pair (or pumping a draw) so I couldn't lay it down. Anyone lay this down at any point?

I also thought about raising the turn and folding to a 3-bet. How's that?

You played it well, though I probably would have called his check-raise on the flop, then raised the turn. It sure looks like a set, but you can't lay down AA here against an unknown opponent.

And no way you should raise the turn/fold to a 3-bet. That move is often useful, but is completely out of place here.
