I said self, you need to value bet more. Villain is LAGgy preflop, no solid postflop read.

Just 3bet preflop, it is too be expected in a blindwar.

I´d bet the flop having just called as it´s pertty wierd for him to check, so he prolly has some kind of hand.

Flatcalling the turnraise is probably ok, you dont want him to fold if you 3bet and you can missrepresent your hand even more on alot of rivers.

Edit: Thought he had AA

A lot of times I like to just call with these weak aces against someone who is LAGGY postflop. If the person will respect my 3bet I'll go ahead and 3bet. But against a LAG, a lot of times I like to keep the pot smaller and give him the initiative. This way I can call down if I want or raise, but I prevent myself from getting pushed off the best hand. It also disguises my hand. I know at 10/20 people are so in love with bluffing that this passive approach can be very profitable.

For some reason I thought he had AA.. I agree with what you say though.
