Ok, in his particular mind, he already did trap me when I raised him. You on the other hand may not have felt that the trap was fully set - but that isn't him. In your mind (and mine too btw)
check-bet-raise-call
is the trap
He on the other hand can only see
check-bet-raise
As in chess, the better players see more moves ahead (this isn't literally accurate btw but it is a common and well accepted fallacy so if there are any chess masters out there - don't get anal on me
Regarding changing my mind by saying he would get overaggressive - the term 'overaggressive' was yours (and I agree that it would be an error for him to re-raise) but the critical point is that *he* would think it's time to spring the trap and that I shall be pot committed at this point. He would think his trap worked when in actuality he would be pre-mature.

I'm the most aggressive guy I know at the table - but aggression doesn't necessarily equate to betting. If you are at war with an enemy for instance, cutting off their supply line so they can starve to death is as aggressive as going in with guns blazing. My stance that he would check AA behind me on the flop was simply to give me another opportunity to hang myself... his motivation would still be to extract as many chips from me as he could - which in my book is aggressive

This clinched it for me. AA raises me back - especially with two hearts out there (by the way, I don't re-raise in this spot - but he would have).
The turn card is a 3c pairing the board which now reads 7h3h2d3c. Action to me - he has about $360 left. What do you do?

Actually...I would have led out on the flop...leading to the bettor to try and get a raise out of him, to get his stack. I do this play often...A lot of times it doesn't work because they don't hold a pocket pair but if they do...it works fairly well. Also.... I'm willing to lose my stack with KK vs AA.
