Villian is a borderline SLAA-LAA player I was figuring from the PF action something like a big ace or a big pocket pair. Should I have slowed down at any point here?

He didn't cap the turn he only called when I 3 bet him, which made me think along the lines of AK-AT or JJ-KK.

Me Likey!

With AA and a LAA... theres no stopping the raises for you. I would only be fearing 99 here, and that is so remote a chance, that capping each street is definately +EV.

All but the nutiest LAA's don't 3 bet with 33, and I would doubt 77.

Now that I looked..... Hmmm that sucks, but I thinkyou played it well. BUt it depends on how Aggy he was. If we was known to see rivers and try top buy pots iwht just overs then yeah, this is well played. If he was a little more timid... I would probably leave it at 2-3 bets each street. But you played this right.

I mean - "borderline SLAA-LAA" - isn't that a bit excessive jargon-wise?].

Thats how PT defined the player... hes just calling a spade a spade.....

^ Like Marm said the autorate rules actually moved him from a SLAA to a LAA a few hands later.

How would that constitute him having a very strong hand? I've had quite a few instances where people will be very aggressiveon the flop and slow down to a 3 bet on the turn. Granted I agree I shouldn't have gone as crazy on the river, but how does his turn action tell a big hand?
