LL HE question - aka: This is a bad beat story.
This guy was playing pretty decently all night, so I didn't see this coming... At first I thought a position raise to steal my blind, but I put him on a high pair when he played back at me, maybe KK, QQ, or even AA.. Was there a point where I should have slowed down? I'm Plaxus.

Comments
can't see any point where you would have been sure that folding was the right option
The river raise(s) were terrible. Look at that board 345(5)6. A single 7 or 2 or 5 has you beat. Never mind the sets that he could have hit..
It seems the error you made was putting your opponent on a single hand and ignoring the evidence that he's got a different hand than your original guess. Your opponent showed you a lot of strength in that hand, you'd have to upgrade after all that betting.
BTW, the original raise preflop by your opponent made me think he's on a steal, not that he's got a big pocket pair. Of course, thats just a pure guess since I dont know the game conditions.
