Villain is 18/12/2.4. Over like 12000+ hands. He is a winner in the game, for about 1bb/100. He is overaggressive postflop in my opinion. We obviously have an extensive history.

(this was not a move I usually make, but I thought that his 3-betting range was large and that I could get him to fold some hands post flop with the cap cause usually I have aa-jj, ak).

He absolutely knows that I won't go crazy against him in this spot without a very good hand.
