Default Alternate route with AA

Everytime I post it seems to be about slowplaying.
Usually I avoid it, but sometimes a situation comes up that calls for something different.
And exceptions to the rule are usually more interesting than the rule.

Villain is bad.
He is loose, and his aggression and bluffs are misplaced.
I think he calls my pfr with any two cards T+ or a pocket pair.
The flop probably didnt hit him.
Yes, Im giving him infinite odds to hit his set.
But I think its worth it for a chance to take his stack.
My plan was to let him hit one of his high cards,
then take his stack.
Or, if that wouldnt work, let him fire at the pot with nothing - which he had done several times before.

Like it?

I hate it. Good reraise preflop, bet the flop, bet the turn and bet decent amount on river.

Why?
If I bet the flop he'll fold anything but a pp.
You see that the chance of me getting outdrawn is very slim?
And if he didnt hit his set on the turn he has two outs with one card to come. If he has two high cards he has six outs and will give me his stack if he hits.

I realise that you are trying to trap the LAG but I dont think this is the hand to do it with when there is a paired board and even possible straight draw on the turn and I dont think you can put him on that specific range of hands.

This is not a tricky player who would raise preflop with 78s. I think I can put him on that range of cards, yes.

Not bad however i prefer to raise the turn. The flop check is fine because you are most likely WA and this lets him convince himself that you have AK or something like that.

I prefere a turn raise to 5 or 6 though which allows you to get it all in easier on the river. Since you said that villain is horrible, unless he is extremely passive, i dont think you are going to scare him and usually you need to raise this turn to ensure getting all his chips.
