I don't understand your line here.

Preflop: I usually fold AJ after an early raiser, but this is a miniraise and early on and you have position.

Flop: Your raise is a little weak here - I would make it at least 250

Turn: after he called your raise on the flop I would try to come to a showdown - so check behind.

River: as played i don't see any sense in folding the river as the 9d hasn't changed a lot - 78 is really unlikely after the flop-call - so this looks like a busted flush draw that wanted to bluff you off - and it worked.

what lev said.

PF is fine.

bet a little more on flop, like 210-250.

Once called, you are heads up, so i think your concern for inducing a bluff on river/keep pot smaller in th event villain has a "5" outweighs the need to protect your hand from a flush draw. that being said, i think you can check the turn. but if you are really worried about the FD, you can bet less than 400 to give him improper odds to draw.

now the river shove in this spot is tough. villains range includes busted FDs but it also contains 5s and other As. you have played this hand pretty strong so far which makes me lean towards a river fold. IMO, calling or folding here is marginal.

And we're trying to help...these guys have already covered it, raise more on flop, just calling on the turn is ok but I would raise again as well, that's a pretty benign card and these minbets from villains are stupid draws like 98% of the time, river is a busted flush draw like always, maybe once a year it's quad 5s or something.

Anyone else read that villain turn min bet as TPWK?

I bet if you never played AJ after a raise again, you'd
lose like zero expectation.
