Button is relatively aggressive, taking steal opportunities when he gets them. How did I do? Would you back off the aggression at any point? What do you think of the river bet?

This looks fairly standard against an over-aggro steal raiser. 3-bet PF fine, he is raising with any A or K and probably a lot of Q/J and suited combos as well. His raise on the flop is standard given his PF play and your read, so yes I would 3-bet this. Two overcards, but only one player you are likely good here. When he just calls your 3-bet, and only calls the Turn I think you have an easy value bet on the River. He likely calls this with any A or pair worse than yours and you are only reasonably worried about a T or possibly 8 (less likely).

I'm guessing he shows you A4.
