I feel like he's going to play his range pretty well against a flop check raise, so I would definitely just check call the flop.

I then feel like he's going to bet almost his entire range on the turn against my flop check call since he will put me on J9/Q9/AJ (wouldn't you cap him with AQ?). The only problem with check calling the turn is how the river plays. I think you definitely have to call there because he will likely value bet 66-99 and sometimes fire a 3rd barrel with QJ. But how can you avoid this river spot? Does check calling the flop and donking the turn somehow make the river easier to play? I don't know - I think that lets him off cheap when he has an underpair unless it will confuse him into calling down. I also never do it so I have no clue how people respond to that line (so I would be uncomfortable folding to a raise and calling down a raise).

Good question though. I also don't think you need to fold this preflop even with him at your left.
