This is kind of a strange hand.

It's a private game in Vancouver, and Villain is somewhat of an accomplished live pro, by Vancouver standards. He's a LAG-ish older (40 years?) asian guy who plays a lot of pots and rarely if ever folds when he is 3bet preflop. He's a typical old, loose asian guy. He understands he should play more hands in position than out of position, but probably doesnt understand why. He'll play ATC on the button, because, as he puts it... "I godda button babby." I think he's wealthy outside of poker, as I'm not sure he's capable of being a big winner. He's not afraid of running bluffs, but in the really big pots he seems to usually have it.

It's only my third time in the game and we're playing bigger than normal. Usually we play 10/25 with an optional straddle. This time it was 25/50 and somewhere through the night the 100 straddle became mandatory and people were given the option to double straddle to 200. (Most people were doing it).

It goes without saying that the action started getting good, and between the 6 of us there was almost 200K at the table. I'm a 5-10NL grinder online, but this game is much softer than the 1KNL at any site (even party). The whole group kind of views me as a young, internet kid that 3bets too much - and because of it they seem to pay me off in big pots. I'm really not even playing that laggy, probably somewhere around 26/22. Villain even recently made some random comment about how he cant wait to crack me because all I do is 3bet whenever I'm bored (or something retarded like that. He's also tilting a bit as he's lost a tonne of small pots in a row and swears he's not gonna give me the opportunity to bluff him again. I think this might be important.

Anyway, effective stacks are 40K. (I have 60K, from an initial buyin of 10K, and a reload of 15 when I busted my KK to another guys AK All in preflop)

Theres no double straddle in this hand, as villain "forgot." I dno how true that is , or if it matters. He had usually been doing it.

Villain raises utg to 500. One call. Actions to me on the button and I have black aces. I make it 2200 straight and villain snap calls, slamming his chips into the pot. The MP cold caller thinks for a long while and mucks.

Flop comes J82 rainbow. Completely dry.

Villain leads into me for 5k. (slightly larger than pot sized bet. I've yet to see him do this with a monster. In fact, I dont think he realizes a bet/3bet line exists.

I tank for a while, and smooth call.

The turn is another 2, completing the rainbow. He stares at the board blankly for a while. Then without too much though puts the rest of his chips in.

Its just over 30K to me (into a pot of about 15K). He knows I'm on case money, but I could really see him raising and calling my preflop 3 bet with any 2.

What should I do? (I'm more interested in turn decision, and not as much the flop flat call, as I had reasons that I think are valid).
