I like a 3bet, I think you can outplay him post flop.

lol. What does this mean? You are certain he has KK/AA so you're going to bet/raise/3-bet/cap the flop and turn to get him to make a sick fold on the river?

No, if I was certain he had AA/KK then I would fold. I don't think he has only AA/KK, so therefore I 3bet and outplay him post flop. If he has one of those hands I will find out, if not, he will likely fold after he misses the flop.

If I had 1000 hands on the guy, I would fold, but I have seen a lot of people with these same stats after a small sampel raise some junk hands, and play very strange pf.

This kind of arrogance and reasoning is setting you up to lose a lot of money.

1.4 PF-r. I really don't think this is close at all. Fold it.

small hand sample, this isn't a reliable range.

Posting blind.

I 3bet. You don't really have a ton of hands on him, so he may be less passive than he appears. Also, there are tons of idiots that love to limp AA/KK, sometimes even stuff like AKs, so I think restricting him to that range is not a particularly good idea.

With that in mind, you should be able to get away from bad flops pretty easily and take him to the house on good flops. A lot of this is dependent on his WtSD, though. If he loves to table his cards, I'd be more inclined to fold.

He probably isn’t raising anything that you'd love to play against. Therefore, fold.

UTG here is 56/1.4/0.8 over 65 hands.

VPIP converges much more quickly than PFR. Therefore, I put more credence in the fact that he is definitely loose than that he is necessarily passive pre-flop.

Notwithstanding the aggro big bind, I three-bet my pocket eights here with position.

I 3 bet. You have position, and villian's range isn't necessarily going to be as tight as his stats seem to indicate.

definate fold. AA-KK and you're screwed. AK and you're not making much off of him when he misses. Oh yeah and if he hit's, you're screwed.
