I'd get a little worried when he raises the flop and then check/3-bets the turn on this drawless board. I'd probably slow down right around there. I would also consider folding preflop (or raising).

ok I see that open-limping with 33 is probably not the best option, but given that, where do I slow down? after the turn 3-bet does seem like a good spot.

What's his hand range preflop? The reason I ask is unless he's raises more than 20% preflop, A6 isn't s strong possibility. Granted, some players will overplay QQ-AA to this extent, but I think it really looks like JJ on that turn 3-bet. I think your turn cap is debateable, but the river three bet was too much.

The turn check/3bet screams out big hand, but you might still be ahead of an idiotically played AA or something. I think I cap the turn and call/bet river.

I also hate your flop bet. Drawless board and you face the field with 2 cold? Ugh.

My impression is that almost nobody raises this flop in that position with top set and risks chasing out 3 callers. But it's also weird how he checked to the button on the turn.

That is a weird weird line. To me, it feel like AA/KK that decided to get fancy with a c/r on the turn, then just check3bet instead.

Edit: once he caps the river it looks like JJ has a better chance of being there than after the turn action.
