How did i play this?

Thanks for the views. As soon as I made the river bet and he called I was pissed with myself.
Anyhow, he showed down a pair of 10s in the hole. I think on reflection, against this guy in a similar spot, I"d flat call the flop - this can often appear more scary then a 3bet. I should also have checked down the river as my hand had decent showdown value. I think I was mistakenly trying to get him to fold a marginal hand which may have had me beat. This guy definitely cannot lay a hand down.
I wasn"t keen on the pfr reraise (although the reason I tanked for abit was to consider this) because he doesn"t really fold and I didn"t want to play a big pot with my stack. I felt I had enough behind, as did he to play a small pot.

To give an example of this guy, he knocked me out about 10 hands later like this: A weak tight player limps UTG and the villian above limps in behind. I"m in the BB with AA and make a hefty raise to 800 (4x). The weak tight guy calls (for like 40% of his stack!) and the villain comes along for the ride. Flop is 8-5-2 rainbow. At this higher blind level I have like 30BBs so am running with the hand till the end I tell myself. I check the flop, weak-tight checks, and villain leads out for 1000 (into 3000) as I"d expected. I call and weak-tight folds (terrible). Turn is an 8, I check (hoping he puts more in the pot), he pushes all in, I insta call. He shows Q8o and river obv a blank. This isn"t a bad beat story, more further evidence of the kind of player I was up against in the prev hand. I was happy the way I played this last hand and I guess we want to be facing guys like this week in week out. 

Marty I was sitting in the cutoff for the 99 hand

deanp27:
i wouldn"t 3bet this pre without serious history.

as for the AA hand just get as much in earlier imo, don"t c/c flop

George2Loose:
Flat pre. Flat flop. Check turn. I would probs value bet river too given action.

AMRN:
not sure about the value bet on the end - you have showdown value against a lot of his range, but your hand doesn"t stand up if he raises your value bet.....  plus, check it down and you get to see his cards for info.

shozboy1:
cool
