$4 NLHE Full Ring: Really bad line?

Villain over 350 hands: VPIP/PFR/AF/Call any 3b pre 70/0/1/75% (18/24)

Obv. a whale. 2bettor pre also a fish at 56/0/2 over 120 hands

I know I played this hand super aggressive with not a whole lot. Usually I wouldn't 3bet here. But before anyone says he isn't calling with worse, he's gone to showdown with me twice on another table calling my shove both times on the river with middle pair, both times! So I know he is capable of calling with worse. Bad line against a reg, but here?

Preflop is fine. I would bet more versus two massive donks on this flop. Turn isn't the greatest card ever as it completes the main draw but considering the player type and your history with him I think betting again is obviously the only option. I am not sure that shoving is really the way to go though. I don't want to give him any reason to fold anything. Seems like betting the standard 2/3 and then tossing in the remainder on the river makes sure of that.

Thanks BR. Thats one of the things I was unsure of. If we bet 2/3 on the turn we leave behind about 3.30. At this point, are we committed? I would think yes right?

And if it helps, my stats to villain prolly look something like 17/14/2 with a 3b of 5%
