Looking back I prefer a 3B --> Check Call

BB: $138 (Hero)
SB: $101.50
Had only been playing with Villain for 36 Hands but I have been 3B almost 24% so far. He is 78/59 with 28.6 3B with 33% fold to 3B
Preflop ($1.50) (2 Players)
Hero was dealt A J A 9
SB raises to $2.50, Hero raises to $8, SB calls $6
Flop ($18.00) 9 J T (2 Players)
Hero bets $10, SB raises to $32, Hero folds
I feel like I get raised here a lot with flush + str8 draws as well as straights. That being said I would have preferred a check call over CB. Our hand is disguised if we hit a boat and we can re-evaluate turns, get it in on diamonds or an ace. Thoughts?
Final Pot
SB wins $59

I agree with X/C and would X/Jam all non-heart turns. When you check after 3Betting here, he is going to bet this flop close to 100% of the time. A lot of times you are going to be X/F, so sometimes you have to X/C and X/R. This hand is the perfect hand to X/C because, as you found out, getting raised sucks, and, as said before, he will be betting this flop close to 100%.

As for the turn, when you X/C the flop and the turn isn't a heart, he will continue betting a very high frequency, thinking that you have a bluff catcher at best, and will incorrectly fold that bluff catcher to more aggression. So, IMO, against a good, aggressive opponent (maybe not even good, you might just need the aggro) this is a standard X/Jam on a non-heart turn.
