Top Pair Overaggressive?

[Shaun G]

UTG+1 is a complete fish (68%VP$IP, 4%PFR). He has raised with 2nd, and even bottom, pair to the river.

Should I have slowed down at any point?

Thanks

Against a normal player I would slow it down...I would probably start calling down after the 3 bet on the flop. I certainly can't imagine a reasonable player giving you this much action on the turn if they don't have you beat. That being said...I've made a lot of money off of maniacs who play like this with their medium PPs. So if this is one of those guys, you probably played it right.
