BB has a VP$IP of 61% (only 18 hands on him, I sat down recently) He is calling most PF raises. I was first to enter the pot this hand and normally would raise PF, although I do not think that gets him out of this hand based off what he is holding, advice?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (7 handed)

Button ($29.35)
SB ($49.95)
BB ($25.30)
UTG ($55.35)
MP1 ($110.10)
MP2 ($67.35)
Hero ($71.60)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
3 folds, Hero calls $1, 1 fold, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($3) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)

Turn: ($24) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)

River: ($48) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $4, BB calls $3.30 (All-In).

Final Pot: $55.30
Main Pot: $54.60, between BB and Hero. > Pot won by BB ($54.60).
Pot 2: $0.70, returned to Hero.

you pretty much screwed on this one, on the turn, any spade, queen, five, u win. i would just put him all in on the turn tho.
i would also raise preflop, if he's gonna call your raises with garbage, raise!, + you have position.

The main thing I would change is that I would raise PF. Your in the CO and 7 handed and no one has limped in. A raise in this position w/ AJs is an absoulte must! Besides that your play is fine.
