NL50 6m: AJ. C-bet an ace on the flop or check behind?

[Machavelli]

I think you should generally bet this flop. However, its rainbow and not too many draws so its okay.

Turn bet is fine.

River should probably be between 7-9 depending on what he will call

ducy?

no because you are wrong

edit: didn't see villains stats, but you can probably catch him peeling 9T or gutters every once in a while, and sometimes small pairs too. Besides most of the hands we are worried about would raise preflop. Actually that might not be true either. Who cares just bet and if he calls check the turn through and either call a smallish bet or vb him.

why would you possibly want to check the flop here, pot that flop, if he calls, betting about 1/2 pot on turn.

I bet only $5 on the river. Should I bet more?

he is never calling a bet on this flop while behind. ever.

so check and earn at least 1 bet from 77-JJ. if you get reraised, it's an easy fold. if he leads turn AND river, you may be able to fold river depending on the board, but chances are you'll get him to bet for you when he has JT/T9 instead of a PP.

if you check back flop and bet turn, he's ALWAYS calling with a pair when the board is anything but like a T or Q

Villain has typical set miner stats. I totally agree with 0Evg0, there is some great advice right here.
