Perhaps a different line

I think raising the flop is a pretty good option. Since we didn't, I think I play it wa/wb when he bets the turn for the rest of the hand (which he didnt do although we expect villain to continue a high percentage of the time)

Since he didnt bet the turn checkin gbehind is an awful awful choice IMO. We're giving most hands in villain's range at least 6.5:1 to beat us for free.

where'd 6.5:1 come from? the pot is 2 bb. he's never folding a better hand on the turn, and there are not many draws to get value from. it is also unlikely that this player has A-high since he open completed from the small blind, so not much chance for value there either. looks like our only chance to get value here is by inducing a bluff, and it does not have to work often to far outweigh the fact that we are giving him a free chance to draw to however many outs he has.

The 6.5:1 is the wrong way to word what I was saying.

What I meant is that his checking to us on the turn rarely means we are behind, and that checking behind gives him infitite odds to draw to a hand with an expected minimum of 6 outs. I was opting to bet for protection.

Also, I'm not convinced that A hi doesn't pay us off here given how we have plyed the hand, although you correctly note the minute possibility of him limping that from sb.

For whatever reason I just think we can get value out of a broader range of hands than you suggest.

A high will definitely pay us off - the problem is that an aggressive player rarely open limps A high in the small blind. just caught your edit.
