Villain has been playing with me for a couple hours at this table. He is solid, and probably a winning player at this level. I have been playing very aggressively preflop, and so has he. I have 3-bet preflop several times in the past 100 hands, and he has a couple times also.

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to $2</font>, SB folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $6</font>, Button calls.
This is not the best hand to 3-bet, but we are very deep and I beleive I can outplay him postflop. I think KTs is ahead of his betting range on the button.
Flop: 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif ($12.25, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $8</font>, Button calls.
Standard continuation bet. After he calls I am probably done with the hand here.
Turn: A/images/graemlins/club.gif ($28.25, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">Button bets $17</font>,
I could certainly play AA the way I've played it so far. He is very deep and I beleive he can lay down a big hand. Furthermore, it's possible he called me light on the flop because I've made this very play a few times. If I raise here, will he call with less than a set ever? If he does call with AQ/AK, would this be a bad spot to check-raise?
