Default Taking Advantage of Mr. Preflop Aggressor

Villain in this hand has been going absolutely crazy preflop, open raising close to or above 50% of the possible hands preflop when it is unopened to him for at least 3 orbits. He does so again in early MP, and I threebet in the CO with 66. Everyone folds, he 4 bets, and I call.

Flop comes AQQ, and he bets, and I call. This flop either hit him huge, or he is scared, especially since I rarely 3 bet.

Turn comes a 3, suits irrelevent, he bets, and I raise.....

Thoughts?

How about post-flop? Would he keep betting regardless of his hand?

He wouldn't go multiple bets without a strong hand. He could keep firing blanks until faced with resistance basically. I obviously can't call down here, so I either fold or raise I believe...

I assume this is a free showdown play/semibluff and you plan on checking the river hoping he will fold a 6 out hand like J9 or other bs. I like

On top of that, I am hoping he folds any hand that doesn't include a Q or an A, so that goes up to KK...which should be foldable in this spot.

And a hand like KJ has so many outs against me, that I wouldn't want it continuing either. KJ has 13 outs against me lowly 66.

I wouldn't want to get in a habit of trying to play this big a pot against a guy who caps preflop and bets both streets into a you who he has to perceive as a tight player. You don't give us nearly enough information to know if he can fold anything postflop or how agressively he will push JJ on this board after you call his flop bet. That being said, if you are intent on taking a stand on this hand and showing this down, then I really like a free SD raise here and give him a chance to fold bigger pairs and draws. Overall though the whole thing is -EV unless there is a read you aren't giving us.

Why not?

Anyway, if you are going to turn your hand into a bluff it is cheaper to just raise flop and bet turn.

I like it. This shuts down any possible draws /and or live cards he can hit and gives you a chance to take it down right here. He may also even fold a better pp.

I guess your folding if 3-bet.
