50nl zoom AJ preflop and postflop play
SB: $56.29
BB: $41.94

HJ: $53.25
CO: $106.95 (Hero)
UTG folds, HJ raises to $1.50, Hero calls $1.50, BN folds, SB folds, BB folds
Pre I flat because bttn and bb aren't playing 100bb so probably weaker players.
Otherwise I woudve 3b I guess, although flatting would be still fine imo.
Villain plays 27 27 after 22 hands, no further info.
I expect villain to cb this flop a lot, the flop is pretty dry. I decided to float and call when the turn comes a/j and fold on other cards. Probably bluff when villain x the turn.
Now he checks the turn and I wonder if betting is OK here? Can we expect villain to fold 22/44/66/88/99/tt/jj?
I guess he folds 22/44 and x/c 66/88/99/tt/jj and fold ak and fold other hands like kj/aj/at maybe something like 89 or ax if he opens those. When I see that range, there aren't a lot of better hands that fold when I bet so is checking better? Or should my plan to bet turn and a lot of rivers to fold the rest of his range?
On the river I bet small to fold out ak/99/88/66/44/22. Maybe he puts me on at/tt, maybe still kq.

Flatting AJo in the CO is very marginal, imo. You'd have to know for sure the blinds overcall, and aren't very good. Without that read, I'd fold > 3-bet > call. Your hand is simply not that good against a HJ open.
Against a presumed strong HJ range, your hand doesn't play well. Folding is not bad, but calling is okay.
It depends on your opponent's post-flop tendacies. If he likes to blast, just fold right away.
Why do you bet the river? The T connects with a bunch of his giveups, and you can't expect him to fold second pair after your turn check. If you want to stab, do it on the turn.
As played, check down and hope you're good.
What good comes from stabbing the turn once? What better hands fold/worse hands call?
Dont you think, like okaygo says, he would fold his pps on the river? And that those hands have more combos than tx?
@chael Don't you think the river bet is good to fold out all his 22 - 99? we shouldn't have many bluffs in our range given our line+runout and the amount of pocket pair combos in villains range should outweigh the times he calls Tx - assuming he only opens suited 9T+ ?
I definitely agree with @Chael on preflpo part, but why u are floating his quite strong range if u are not goind to fold it ? I would bet both, turn and river here to make him fold his pairs and AQ+ taht beats us, quite easy play imo
//if u are not going to make him fold it ?
What are you trying to achieve with the river bet? You should get c/r in these spots because you don't rep anything that is betting for value on the river.
AJ does fine versus 20% open AND if the BTN is passive/folds AND blinds are weak = i'm happy flatting here. Chael correctly points out the marginal situation preflop if those factors weren't in our favour.
Postflop i might begin betting right away OTT or check it down. the one street stab seems like it won't be enough or as pointed out by Wadapdoc might get construed (correctly) as weak and you would be faced with a check/raise
