Default NL25 AA against gambler who´s trying to push me off of my hands

Ok, this is the first time in 60,000 hands or so that I got cute with AA. That´s because of this specific villain: he came to gamble. Once I noticed, I startet to fight back, like calling his bets all the way to the showdown with my QQ with a K-high flop (I won). However, I really got few cards I could continue with postflop, even given my read, and he saw me fold quite a lot.
Villain has noticed that, and he is trying to push me off of my hands. He is in literally any hand I play, and he is always aggressive (more than against the other players, and he doesn´t see all the flops against them).

My specific read is that bets on all streets up to ~20BB mean absolutely nothing, while the only big (50 BB) river bet (in like 40 hands or so) was a strong hand - but is a big bet always a strong hand? He will definitely bet a lot more hands than he will call with.

Now isn´t that a perfect opportunity to let him hang himself? But then again, any kind of, say, strange two-pair would be possible, as he has been caught playing like 84o. But then again he´s trying to push me off.

Is my play ok, given the circumstance?

So, here goes.
