This guy is really aggro, he 3bet me like 2-3 times in about 20+ hands. I stacked off with him very early TT vs 66. I think it is really unlikely for him to have the Ace on the flop so I did the cheap minR bluff to apply a lot of pressure but he calls.

From then on, I have no idea what he has, I was putting him on a pocket pair. Another ace appeared, I know if I bet I may get checkraised since he is really aggro and he probably would'nt believe that I have an ace. My plan was to try hit a pair if not I would give up.

On the river, quad aces appear. He suddenly donks into me. I have the second nuts, and I think he is full of shit so I call. Is there anyway to play this differently?

I would rather float here then minraise the flop, if you want to represent an Ace.

A lot of hands will still call your flop raise, and you'd have to follow with a turn bet to make the minraise worthwhile.

Meh i thought about floating, but that might bring you in some ugly reverse-implied-odds-spots if you hit a Q or a J, so i think i prefer to either raise or fold at the flop, but i'd make it a little bit bigger because i find people are less likely to give up vs a minraise because the odds seem very good (they are of course, but if you put in an extra $ or two the odds would be basically the same but they seem much worse).

If the 8 was a 6 or lower i'd prefer a call on the flop since you'd be more likely to be ahead of his hand since there are more SCs that would've missed the flop.

As played i'd call the river for sure (at least a small bet like this), he could bet a wide range. For example he could have a pocket pair with which he thinks to have no SD-value at all, so he's turning it into a bluff.
