I was going to say that you overplayed the hand with a turn three-bet, but then I noticed that villain is outrageously aggressive.

I think this is fine. With those kinds of aggro stats you're not folding this hand. Not three-betting the turn is probably losing value. After the turn cap I think you're probably no good here, but I would certainly call down given villain's stats. I think you'll get shown QQ, JJ, A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], etc... often enough that you're not getting away from this hand.

One raise too many, imo. I would just call down once he raises the turn.

Note that villain is literally raising every hand he plays pre-flop and raising/betting 6 time as often as he calls post-flop. This guy plays raise-or-fold hold'em, and is likely to be raising the turn with a much wider range of including most of the ones that standard players will just call with.

I've noticed that usually when an opponent's stats look like that (VPIP=PFR, excessive tot-AG), it's due to a pretty small sample size, less than 50 hands.

That being said, I think calling down after the turn raise is fine. You may be losing a little value in the long haul by not 3-betting this turn, but I prefer to risk slightly underplaying a hand than slightly overplaying a hand.

If that read is over a significant amount of hands, I'm 3-betting the turn too.

This is an interesting concept... whether one prefers to err on the over- or under- playing side if two options seem to have close EV. If we were any good we'd know which one was better, but everyone has tendencies in close situations.

I tend to overplay because I'm a giant lag.

I saw that. To be honest, my guess is that these numbers are over a pretty small sample size. Also, in my experience, ultra high aggression factors are often a result of folding too much, in addition to aggressive play. But if this guy is truly betting/raising or folding every time, then...ok......3-betting the turn is ok.
