FTP 32k: AJs OOP Line Check

I hope this hand isn't boring/standard or whatever. I posted it bc it's basically a question of maximizing value postflop and I also wondered if anyone had thoughts on the river shove.

It's early. Both Villains have been standard/taggy. My image is the same.

I like the leading the flop in these spots.

Wow, the river is completely, totally incomprehensible to me. Bet, minraise, call? Assuming the CO isn't a complete moron, what could he be calling with? A boat or quads he'd have to raise, a straight I think he'd have to fold, it has to be a flush. If CO has a flush and you have a flush, let's discount extremely the possibility of BB having a flush. The BB just minraised you after you bet the turn and river, and he probably doesn't have a flush. Boat doesn't make a lot of sense, since you would expect him to reraise preflop and start putting some money on that super drawy board sometime before the river, maybe quad 2's? I'm embarassed to say I would just call the river minraise.

I think flop check is fine. I bet more on turn and play river the same. They rarely show up w/ a boat because of the check around on the flop.
