Default HU AK Hand

Here's a hand I didn't think was that interesting, but what do you guys think?

It's a live 2/4 structure game and you open AKo UTG+1 and it's folded to the bb who calls.

You know the BB as a loose, aggressive but thinking winning player and knows he will defend semi-liberally here.

The flop comes down:

He bets. What's your plan?

I'd call and raise many turns, being an aggressive player he'll 3-bet with a straight or flush draw or a pair. If the turn is not a heart or 4 or 9 I'll raise, otherwise I'd call and see the river.

I really don't see what's wrong with folding.

I usually fold these.
Since only the bb called the pot isn't big and you have no idea if he has a draw, a pair, trips or nothing.

my first thought was to call down, but against a good, thinking player this can't be right unless he's really laggy.

how about raising the flop, folding the turn UI if 3 bet, and taking a free card on the turn if you don't improve? (think about this line before dismissing it -- I think it may be better than it first appears).

You don't think that you'll get 3-bet by a worse hand (strong draw) at times?

I think even a player with this description is cabable of betting a draw here. I would call down depending on what cards fall. If he's capable of betting a draw he's almost always capable of 3betting it so I dont like raising anywhere.
