Villain just sat down and posted. Button was something like 60/40/10 after about 30 hands, was super aggro and probably tilting judging by the comments he was making. Should I have 3bet pf?

This whole hand was a big wtf to me, but mainly about what to do on the turn. I'm thinking c/c would have been better but I'm not entirely sure.

i don't mind the call because off the limper and the lack of history. I like to 3bet AJ from the blinds against a guy i have stats on. I think u really misplayed the flop and the turn. I think i would fold the flop bet. We have to put him on a range of hands. Normally a 3betting range is something like: TT+, AK,AQ We are crushed. so fold the flop
Reraising the turn is just spew imo

3 betting pf and committing with any piece of the board vs btn seems like a good option, I wouldn't worry about the limper since his range is atc and he'll fold almost always.
I'm probably check/calling flop as well, you're getting a good price and it's possible that he has TT/AK.
c/r on turn is pretty bad, maybe he'll fold AQ but I doubt it. You have a decent draw and getting good direct odds, I'd just call and c/f river unimproved.

3bet PF, MPs limp miniraise = AA more often than not. On the Flop meh, I dont know, I really dont think I like calling this OOP. The turn raise is bad. Villains bet sizing is terrible and hes obviously a donk but I doubt hes ever folding. Your getting insanely good odds to call and he will more than likely pay you off if you hit.

I really don't think I can fold this flop... My pair may be good, and I have tons of backdoor outs, plus I'm getting good odds. I think I really messed up the turn though... I think I definitely should have just called his turn bet. I would have a tough decision on the river if it was a blank and he bets 1/5 pot or similar.
