Heroine: Seat 1 Hijack, $850, young female, known reg, TAG image so far, just won decent straddle pot against straddler
History: Played in the same game several times but never engaged in a hand, friendly chatter, seen him many times take down pots with random 2pairs against TPTK
Villain limps, I raise to $25 with A Q. SB calls, BB calls, and so does Villain.
Flop ($100) A T 6
SB, BB, and Villain check to me. I cbet $65. SB and BB fold. Villain calls.
Turn ($230) Q
Villain leads out for $245.
What do we do here?

Villain is by far not a tight player, though he isn't a limpaholic either. To elaborate on the hand that I mentioned as "History", I've seen him limp/call OOP pre with Q2, check/call on an AQXr flop, bet a deuce turn, and shove on a brick river against AK.
What do I consider V's range to be given the action thus far? I'd break this up by what seems more likely and then what seems not as likely.
Likely: the two AT combos, 66, the two AQ combos, KJd, KJs, perhaps sometimes KJo.
Possible but not so likely: any AK combos, AA, TT, any T6 combos, KT
Turn ($230) Q
Villain leads out for $245.
Heroine calls $245.
I elect to call instead of raise (effectively an all-in, in my opinion). I didn't want to him to possibly fold an weaker hand than mine.
River ($720) 3
Villian bets/goes all in for $465.
What do we do?
River ($720) 3
Villain bets/goes all in for $465.
H calls $465.
Villain tables T

Given the action, in a vacuum, my hand is now almost always a fold and can be generally agreed upon that Villain has bet turn & river simply for value.
Given the player and the HH, this edged me into calling. I considered that he was more likely to have a weaker and/or drawing hand than if I were to have played this exact hand with another $2/5 player at Borgata.
I spoke to other players in the room who've also played with him. They've seen him open 20, lead J82hh flop 6-ways, check/raise a 3x turn with QQ and shove on an Ace river OOP, winning the main and side pots when a player folded/flashed A5hh. Though this player showed up with TT here, he has shown a tendency to spazz, to behave aggressively when he didn't know "what to do".
