Rippy,

I really like how the BB played his hand here and I think you should understand his line of thinking because you will run into stuff like this if you keep raising KJo on the button.

So, there are 2 weak limpers, then the aggro guy makes it 5x on the button. You've shown strength technically, but he might have figured out by now that you'll do this a lot. If he's really bright, he also knows that more often than not you'll run away if played back at. By smooth calling he keeps the horrible players in the pot and sets up an isolation check/raise when you continuation bet.

On the flop he's clearly going to check/raise. He knows you'll continuation bet a lot (why didn't you BTW, this is the MOST surprising street.) If an idiot continues despire the bet+raise then AA reconsiders where he stands. Otherwise, he'll shut down a lot of draws and small pairs.

On the turn he puts out a weak lead (it almost screams "I'm weak, raise me!")

Anyway, players start doing funny stuff like this when you get really aggressive. So not only do you need to understand how they'll usually play, you also need to be one step ahead of them knowing what kind of stuff they're likely to do once they figure out you're running without the ball a lot.

You gotta back that up bro. What range do you put the BB on here?

The only part I *might* do differently post-flop is not put the rest in on the river after our opponent makea a bet/re-raise line.
