This is only one hand so you need to be careful drawing any conclusions. I wouldn't really draw any firm conclusions from this but it certainly pushes the villain towards LAG. It may mean he is opening too many hands and barrels too much but it's dangerous to get that specific from one hand. And early in the session you have to watch for the common pattern of an opponent going on a bezerko bluff and showing it to make think he bluffs a lot.
You sum up nicely my concerns while in the hand. He maintained aggression on a board that favors his range as the PFR, yet I’m not going anywhere. I figured it’s a WA/WB situation. Either he’s full of excrement, which he turned out to be, or he has me smoked with two pair or better. I just felt I had too much hand to fold for the price.
