Sure smells an awful lot like AT.

I agree.

Why are we putting villain on exactly one hand?

Because we can beat it?

Agro smart or just agro? If he's agro smart he knows you'll find a raise on the flop or turn with a hand and got the green light to try and push you off AK when you didn't. You know that. Would he? If he would I like your play and would expect to see him say "I missed, good call" often enough to be +EV. For that reason I also like raising the turn, folding to a 3 bet or checking behind the river.

raising the turn would be a lot hotter.

Only if villain won't ever 3-bet a draw on the turn and won't bluff the river when he misses his draw.

It certainly would with AQ, but here I prefer calling.

The river call is marginal. I like calling the river here because sb could be raising here with many things, draw/made hand/overcards. You're getting enough pot odds to call the turn as well presuming he doesn't have trips.

Turn raise is also a good idea because you can always go for a free showdown or bet if he checks the river. If he's on a straight draw and misses then he won't call the river with anything less than a pair. The raise is also important because you have position advantage and the pot is pretty big. I'll second guess the turn raise if you act first on the turn though, he's likely to call with many hands because of the heavy draw board.
