    Whether to 3bet pre or not depends on if you think he's tilting hard enough to call with worse and still get a lot of money in on an A or Q high board. Generally, unless he was going really nuts, I'd suggest flatting here is just fine and optimal even if you think he might call preflop with worse, it'll probably slow him down postflop if he hits an ace and you 3bet pre.

    Why do you jam the turn? If you think he's steaming, much better to just station him down here. When you jam, you just isolate yourself with better and kill any value you'd have got from worse, but if you just call him down he might well bet 3 streets with a worse ace.

    Incidentally, I'd caution somewhat against drawing conclusions about whether someone is tilting when you see them splashing around _unless_ you've seen some junk shown down, it's perfectly possible he was just running hot - it's not that uncommon to have 10 playable hands dealt in 20. That said, you do have to draw a line somewhere - the other day for example I got it in preflop with JQs against 23s when a fish open-jammed only the 2nd hand in a row, so I'm not saying it's always bad to "over-read" like this, but unless he's really going crazy and jamming everything, it can just be a hot run of cards.
