 Villain is super aggro, running at 34/24/5 after 100 hands.
My image is Nittagg...but he may think I am Tight/weak.

My thoughts on this hand is that I think my line shows a ton of strength, and I should have lots of FE.

Thoughts?

 Yeah its ok. I don't really know what to do on a blank river though. I probably fold this pre against this type of player because you're in so many more marginal spots post flop like this. If I am calling pre I probably play it same.

Pre is fine because I am in position and BB is an uber donk. I was very very surprised he folded his BB....he musta had 72o.

 I think it's good. Is folding here pre bad vs. this type of player? Anyways, as played you have a lot of equity against his range and I really believe your raise causes him to fold a lot with his range and your image.

Genitruc is an unknown quantity at this point
 all you can credibly rep is JT
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

id 3bet preflop if i played (tho u said BB was terrible so thats a good reason not to)

calling flop is fine

the only conceivable benefit to your turn raise is to get him off hands which might succeed in bluffing you on the river

call turn and call some rivers

No, they call with 72o to beat you with it and feel awesome.

I like calling the turn more, I think the implied odds you have when you hit your backdoor FD make a call better than a raise.
