Personally, I think raising here is a bit LAG. It takes more than 2 paint cards for me to raise out of the SB.

I could be taking a concept I just learned too far, and I respect your opinion more than my own. However, I'm trying to think more for myself rather than blindly follow advice. Raising is correct here, in my view, because it's so easy to play. You are representing a high ace so if an ace hits the board you fire one out. If no one folds then you check fold the turn. If no ace hits then fire out two shots and check fold the river. Any Ace out there should fold by the turn. Not to mention BB folding and you could easily have best hand.

If KJo in first position is easy to play for you, then hail to your postflop madness. As for me, I tend to try and avoid these situations.

It usually isn't correct to bluff in low limits. You are trying to argue that hero has the best hand, which is definitely understandable. But then you proceed with bluffing an ace and representing a strong ace.

If you are trying to bluff out the pot, fine, go for it. But if you consider hero holding the best hand, why represent a different one?

It's not a bluff if you figure to have the best hand. It's a value bet. If someone calls with that Ace on the board, you probably don't have the best hand.

If someone calls with their 44, you probably don't have the best hand. Why put yourself in that position?

Would you raise in the SB with 22? Why not?
