you've given us no information about villain, so we can't really comment on his range. However with one ace in your hand and another on the board, AA is an unlikely holding.

Grunch, can you explain what possible reason you would want to open push this flop for? Given a normal villain's range, what hands can he have that this is a good line against?

OP, your hand is almost certainly good on the flop, and villain is almost certainly drawing thin. I don't mind a smallish flop bet here but yours is too small. Make it half pot instead. If he calls, against a lot of villains i'll check on a blank turn like this. Anything to get another bet out of an opponent that's most likely drawing to 2 or 3 outs.

Fold equity against AK, or to insure max value from KK. In both cases, I'd need very solid reads on the opponent. I't pretty unusual for me to have a good enough read on the opponent to select this line, and that's why I usualy check-push for value most of the time.
