I've been trying to tone down my aggression recently in terms of thin value 3-bets because actually players are generally more passive than I give them credit for (especially on the river) and I'm probably losing money with them.
The opponent in this hand was pretty typical, slightly looser and more passive than is probably optimal but not a complete calling station. I really really wanted to 3-bet the river here, but I thought he was more likely to have a slowplayed monster or a bluff that wouldn't call a 3-bet than a hand I beat which suddenly decided to raise the river.
