Did check raising cost me?

Yeah you just are going to have variance with these types of players, but don't be afraid to put bets in with your good hands.

I bet the turn because I have no reason to believe BB is going to bet so I can get a checkraise in.

I check/call the river. His three bet on the turn often indicates better than top pair. Against this super aggro guy though, maybe I checkraise the river. I'd have to have a pretty good feel for him to do that though.

Then you should have capped the turn but check/folded when the three came on the river.

pre-flop is an automatic raise. the follow-up flop bet is also automatic. i can semi- understand the turn check raise if you think it will work in pushing him off his draw or 2nd pair. however, i think it screams "i just hit my big ace", and he seems completely unphased by it. there are a ton of hands a BB would defend with, A5/6/9 or 7/8o for ex. i think the check raise was bad because it would make hands that you beat drop out,A8/an ui pp, these hands fold and force you to donate more to a better hand which is all i see calling you. once you did check-raise the turn you have to slow down when he gives the aggresion back. at this point i would drop down to call/check/call. definately would NOT bet the river.imo.
