Turn spot with top 2

[given1982]

Villain is 28/23/11.5 over 325 hands (23/20 from UTG) with 81% flop cbet and 50% turn cbet (over 10 opportunities). About 20 minutes ago, he 5bet shoved A3s from the small blind over my button 4bet and I won a stack with AA.

I think he expects me to play back light here because he expects me to think that he's barrelling close to 100% of his preflop range on the turn (and I do), so I thought that he would get it in with AK, AQ, worse aces up, and draws. Thoughts?

Given (lol!) your read that he's aggressive and bluffy, I think getting AT in here is mandatory. The fact you stacked him earlier means he may he eager to get it back which increases the chances he'll be overplaying something like AQ, AK, AJ or weaker 2p hands (A3, A4, 34) as we've seen they are in his range, and that turn now gives a decent portion of his range combo draws (KQh, KJh etc) so I think it's profitable getting it in.

I don't see any hard decision in this hand xD We never fold here for sure...
We might be able to get one more bet for sure out of any A, if we just call and the river bricks, but I like a raise here more, cause:
1, We will go broke against any set anyways
2, We might not be able to stack him, if we slow play and he has some weakish 2pair
3, We want to protect us against semi-bluffs
4, We won't get way more value from weak A and pp
5, We only get limited value from a strong A, but might be able to stack him, if he puts us on a draw on the turn (since a set aaalways raises the flop, cause it's so wet right?? :P)

even without your impression of him being loose and spewwy, I think this is a pretty easy stack off. if an aggressive player with a bad image and history (even tho he probably realizes he has a bad image) hits a set when you turn top 2, it's a cooler. shoving is much much better than flatting, bc I think he's always getting it in here w/ AJ+/A4/A3, and if he has a draw but whiffs on the river you can't be sure if he'll shove into you.
