Villain is medicore 30/20- doesn't like to fold top pair. Check the turn? Flop?

So he doesn't like to fold.. but you're trying to make him.. I don't see anything horrible with how you played.. if he has something like KQ u have 19 outs.. I think I'd prolly bet like 6-7 (looks weak.. if he raises I shove)on the flop then crai on the turn if he called the flop.

his range is very wide here,so i like the reraise oop with AJs... The flop hit you pretty nicely, but its likely to have hit him also and we know he likes TP type hands alot. how aggressive is he on the flop? I think i'd try to get it all in there, perhaps c/r AI

I like the flop bet, I may have checked the turn looking for a Check back, but if he pushes the turn, I am probably calling with this many outs

I'd be happy to get it in on the flop, but this villain wasn't all that aggro postflop. In retrospect I think a weaker flop lead might be best as it gives me more options with a slightly smaller pot on the turn if he flatcalls the flop.
