This really is not the time to be doing this. 100BBs... ok. 200... not so much. If he really is an aggrodonk then finding a decent spot after you hit a flop shouldn't be too hard.

That's a fair point, but I managed to get this guy heads up when I thought I might have to play my aces for set value. Fish with big stacks often don't keep those stacks. If I feel its +EV, shouldn't I try to double up while I have him to myself?
When I posted the hand, it just happened, and while I was happy with 300BB pot, I was thinking "whoa, was this too reckless?" After sleeping on it, I don't think so, but maybe nice results have biased my opinion.

Isolation is definitely good, but 3-betting is usually the best way to do it. As the hand played out you were lucky to get isolated. Otherwise you might be in a [censored] spot where you're sandwiched with nothing but your aces and you could run into someone behind you with a real hand.
