I know these decisions are really small but over thousands of hands they add up damnit

Well, I'd assume he caps with all Ace-x two pairs here, as well as all sets, the only ones that make sense are TT and 77, although those get raised preflop a lot.I can find a cap here with top two. My gut is on A3 for him.

Yea, this definitely feels like a 2 pair more than a set. Having said that, if your unsure whether you should call or cap the river, it would probably have been better to bet/call in the first place. In this specific case, capping is better.

You 3-bet the turn?

Unless you're against a LAG-tard, I'd just call the river. Most villians will put you on two good pair there, and won't three-bet without having at least AJ themselves.

Maybe it's a leak.But I 3bet this turn all the time against bad opponents.Though I agree that no one should be raising my turn bet in the first place with something I beat.But it just seems that they so often do.--cm

Unless the villain isn't paying attention at all, we just told him we had AJ. Like, grafittied it onto his eyeballs. He dont' seem scurred.
