AJs in vs. SB in RR'd pot .. questions on all streets, esp. turn.

Villain is U2KILLERS. I mostly play $50NL, so I don't know much about him. I assume he doesn't know much about me either. He had his stack when I got here and hasn't done anything to really stand out so far. He seems a little nitty and maybe a little over aggro, but nothing note-worthy. As far as stats go, I have him at 14.78/11.74/3.0 over 230 hands. Similar stats from SB, but obv. not a ton of data. His aggression factors are 1/8/infinity for flop/turn/river.

Pre-flop: this seems pretty standard to me. Suited broadway ace in position, nothing so makes me want to pop it again pre, but I can't see a fold. Yes?

Flop: I figure his range is basically 1) crap that missed, so all I'm getting is this c-bet 2) AA, ATs+, AQo+. How likely is ATs? If I take that out, I'm behind. Anyway, I call here. Raising seemed like a bad idea because I'd get all the money in vs. hands that beat me, but I didn't think he'd fold enough for it to be profitable.

Turn: Well, I hit my 2 pair, so I beat AK, so I figure I want the money in now. Any bet I can think of commits me, but I think a shove looks a little too strong, so I bet a little under 2/3-pot.

The turn reallllly confused me, though. Why'd he check? He can't want to give a free card to a draw, right? And he can't have a heart draw. And, if I have a draw, there's got to be a good chance I check behind. So what does he check into me here? It really felt like he might be trying to c/r here, but it seems like such a strange place for that.
