Best way to approach this turn?
 

I don't deal with these spots too well vs the raise or fold type.

I hate my preflop play now, and am much better at avoiding these type of situations now(hand is from this summer).

10/20 live game, I open limp in MP with AJs. Play was pretty passive at this point-my crappy justification at the time.

Young swede who has won a decent amount without showing down a hand yet makes it 100. I call, HU.

Flop something like 974, flush draw, but not mine. check check. Turn is a jack. He is the raise or fold type, what is my best plan now?

Effective stacks around 3500.

IF hes the raise/fold type, does he really check the flop with an overpair/set when the board is looking rather mildly drawable?

when i play like this i dont look to give any free cards on any street.

1/2 pot the turn. and dont get called, or raised for that mettter.

One bump, then I let it die if no interest.

Betting here can't be good when I know I'm going to get raised 75% of the time.

Consider a check raise? Not crazy about that either, but just check calling has to be the worst option.

not really.

Check/call turn and donk/fold river? I can't imagine him not stabbing with AK/AQ here if you check, but I can certainly see him raising.

I'm liking the c/c then d/f line.

whoaaaa....

does anyone else here have a problem calling 5BB raises OOP with AJs??? I get mad at myself for making the same call with AQ sooted. I feel like the reverse implied odds are huge here.

your play is fine so far.
PREFLOP IS FINE.
bet/push or check/call the turn. id checkcall most of the time.
