Spewing? In hindsight i probably should have only called the three bet on the river, or maybe slowed down sooner? I just could not believe he would have called preflop cap with 43, and could see him playing a set the same way (yeah that aggressive). Plus I had another player calling down with us.

43s can only be made 4 ways, plus maybe a discounted 2-3 ways for calling with 43o. On the other hand, there are 9 ways he could have flopped a set.

CO was completely passive the whole way. I don't think anyone with af of 1.45 would not bet the nuts at any point in the hand.

As long as SB would play a set as aggressively, even after seeing the A and Q fall, then you have huge equity w/ CO tagging along. Nice hand.

I think that's the biggest limit hold 'em pot of all time. Damn the board for not pairing!

I guess there is a time where you need to give the SB credit for 34 (probably suited), but it is hard to put 34 in a 35 VPIP's range of hands. This looks more like 55 or 66 as those would have a better chance of being in his range. I guess his 23 PFR means he would be more likely to 3-bet with those though. Maybe the river 3-bet is a good time to call.

You cap preflop (premium hand), 3-bet the flop checkraise (overpair), and 3-bet the turn after the ace hits (AA).

Now SB has bet-3bet the river. You have three choices:

1. He is a complete idiot.

2. He thinks you are a complete idiot.

3. He called 1.3 bets cold preflop from the SB with 43s and then called again when you guys capped.

I don't see what's so unbelievable about a 35% PFR calling with suited connectors. Unless you have some reason to believe he's lost it I would just call the 3-bet and ensure my overcall.
