This seems incredibly weak to me. Maybe if you had some read on him as a super good player.

If he's an idiot he might have thought: "Hey I just paired my ace, maybe he has a pocket pair, I'll raise!".

Why would he be an idiot for thinking this way? I'd play KK the same way as AK in this spot. If he cold called with AQ or AJ, a raise might help him define this hand.

I probably call down here, maybe 3-bet depending on what I thought of the player.

Wouldn't he be an "idiot" because he is doing what I was avoiding by not 3 betting? He is raising with an ace that should only get called if it is behind. Idiot may be too strong a term, but raising with the ace is probably a mistake unless the preflop raiser is a very loose player.

I don't really agree with defining your hand on the turn either. Better to do that on a cheap street.
