I think that's a pretty good flop to mix it up a little. I'm not expecting 3 streets from worse Jx and expecting 67s and T9s to bet themselves, also considering I mostly have nothing when I check here people are very inclined to bet vs me here thats why I definately need to check some Jx and I think AJ is a pretty candidate to maybe check 25% of the time and bet it 75%.

Turn is not the best but also not the worst card. It makes a bit sense to lead for value but I was hoping that a worse Jx would hang himself.
Also I was a bit worried about BN having me beat so if it went bet and raise after me I would have an easy fold and would have saved myself money compared to lead/folding turn.

River after it gets checked around it's pretty likely that I have the best hand so I went for an easy valuebet =). Should I maybe size it differently on river?
