UTG checks, Hero ?
Preflop: Not sure what do to with this as a std really. I think I might be able to call AQo profitably there but if I also occasionally 3b low suited connectors, low suited aces and some weaker suited broadways with some frequency, throwing in all AJo seems a bit too wide. Can I just fold this in these positions or go with a mixed strategy?
Flop: I don't think cbetting makes sense here. One of the weakest hands in my range.
Turn: Again unsure about my bluffing frequencies. Since I have all AKo in my range and maybe some KJs, this card improves my range quite a lot. However I don't expect him to fold QQ, JJ to a single bet ever so it seems like I should bet twice more often than not. Blocking JJ is not ideal, however I do block AK which might be incentivised to x/c in his shoes. This also seems like one of my highest equity bluffs I show up here with. Maybe again go with a frequency bluff here assuming I have all AJo in my preflop range?

Hey :)
I think fold AJo is the standard play. This is no spot to print money, UT/MP Ranges should be tight and strong. I have a 3bet only approach in this spot, but mixed is fine too. The problem with 3betting AJo is, that his defend range should dominate your hand very often, AQs, AKo etc. or just perform okay against your hand. Furthermore it is hard to overfold against 3bets with a tight range. Just fold.
Postlfop: I'll also check the flop, from exploitive view cbet is fine, because most players defend only by x/c and x/r only their very strong hands and some strong draws, no QQ, Tx, QJs types. By betting some better hands will fold and you maybe deny some equity.
But arguments for check are good, so check, I'll also check the turn and mabye bet the river if Villain is able to fold against that line, most players are not able to do this, because "he repps nothing", so give up seems fine too.
Absolutely fold pre. xb is fine, on turn we could think about overbetting - and then following-up on river with another overbet.
I would be surprised if villain shows up with Kx here since he checks the turn, but we can have all AK in our range. I would bet turn and follow through on most rivers. As the BigFiszh mentions an overbet on turn and river could be sexy as you target the part of his range bellow Kx and can apply max pressure here.
