Villain is like 22/10/5
Should I reraise flop to see where I'm at? What if he flat calls it then?

Board is very dry... and i expect to see very much 2pair/sets here.

When he flatcalls the flop you check the turn and call the river to get value from worse aces.

I raise to 22 on the flop. Shoving turn if called, folding when he shoves.

I think your weak flop bet put you in this difficult spot. Villain can be doing that minraise with a really wide range, and the turn bet doesn't give us much information either, as you've shown so much weakness on both streets. Judging from my experiences in PS NL50, I would say villain has a smaller ace here most of the time here (two pair or not).

As played I would fold turn or call and c/c river.

I don't like "3 betting to see where we are", if we 3-bet, he may call or shove with AJ. If we 3-bet he may call or shove with a set. If we 3-bet, he may call, maybe fold with AQ, probably fold AT (which we don't really want him to do). Regardless, we end up tanking eventually.
