AJs in mp. Cold Callers and pair on board

[flub]

I know limit and am starting to play a bit of NL. After playing this hand it struck me I may have no idea what I'm doing. The main villian just sat down this round. On the turn I didn't didn't fully respect his min-reraise because he checked through flop. I nearly always cBet this flop but was planning to check-fold if there was decent bet behind me. Comments on all streets welcome.

The flop check is fine OOP 3-handed, but betting occasionally is good.

I'd probably just fold to the turn raise without reads, and I don't think villain ever turns up with a worse J on the river.

Turn minraises on paired, 3-flushed boards are rarely bluffs/TPGK. I know it sucks but dump.

That is a flop I might not cbet OOP. The lead is ok on the flop, but fold to the raise.
