underpair - line against flop raise

[tinhat]

10 hands at the table and saw no blatant postflop craziness; villian was 75%vpip (FWIW).

There was a hand like this posted a few days ago but a much worse flop (AKx IIRC).

button coldcalled and now raises - is this some textbook move against pfr with a 'scare' card? Is he wanting to know if his king pair is better than my hand? Playing Axs trying to protect? Why raise a set here short-handed?

Stats are unreliable so don't know if I have any business calling his potentially wide range of starting hands; raising because I should recognize I may be good; folding because I should recognize I'm well behind?
