I only has 70 hand on Villain who is 17/17 on those so not much to go on.
Stars, 0.25-0.50 $
UTG ($51.24)
MP ($50)
Hero (CO) ($56.24)
Button ($41.80)
SB ($49.49)
BB ($50)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A, A
UTG raises to $1.50, 1 fold, Hero raises to $4, 3 folds, UTG calls $2.50

Flop: ($8.75) K, 6, 5 (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $6.50, UTG raises to $14, Hero raises to $52.24 (All-In), UTG calls $33.24 (All-In)

Turn: ($103.23) 5 (2 players, 2 all-in)

River: ($103.23) 8 (2 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: $103.23 | Rake: $2.50

Results below:

Spoiler

UTG had K, K (full house, Kings over fives).
Hero didn't show A, A (two pair, Aces and fives).
Outcome: UTG won $100.73

Am I to aggressive , putting him on AK at best since he doesn't 4bet me pre or just really unlucky here?

Hi,

Nobody is going to b/f aces in 3-bet pot nowadays, so nicely played. Often players would raise/fold 66/55 pre-flop and some players would prefer playing KQ aggressively on the flop and they can always have flushdraws.
Easy shove on the flop if you think that player is never bluffing. If you also put bluffs in his flop c/r range I would prefer calling flop and getting all-in any turn card.

best regards,

After thinking about it for a while. Why would you call ?
"If you also put bluffs in his flop c/r range I would prefer calling flop and getting all-in any turn card. "

Isn't that like giving him a free card that could be scary?

Cause he's going to be bluffing with air a lot too. His flush draws are anyway never folding after raising on the flop so it doesn't matter whether they hit or not.

Also the he more likes has complete air than the flush draw since we have the A :spade: and might try barrelling turn with air on many cards which may look like a good card to bluff at.

+1
basically to keep in his air and not give away strenght of my hand.
If you were similar spot with QQ-TT then very likely you wouldn´t want to get all-in against Kx+. So raise/call keep in him his bluffs and also helps balance out your range.
