Well I certainly wasn't expecting 55 to be honest, but you forgot he can totally have KQs though (I was betting on that hand when I clicked on the spoiler).
He can also have JJ and TT, I wonder why you only consider 99.
The point is, he can have things. It's poker. You have a good hand. You call.
You didn't squeeze pre for show but to prepare to play for stacks if you happened to hit.
So :
1)"Lol nope" ![]()
2)Hum, if it's really blank, probably not, but be careful on which cards you bet
3)Who knows, preflop is full of mixed strategies nowadays, just do how you feel like on the moment (meaning according to every element you can take into account to decide in a line's favor)
Pre-flop seems fine to me, but against a fish you can easy bet more than half pot on flop and turn for value. If you bet like $1 on flop you can shove most turns and that makes it a lot easier to plaay I think.

NO! No! Flop hits 3-bet callers range way better than 3-bettors as he will have way more sets, SD's and 2 pairs than you on that board.
Also, Turn bet is a mistake, because Td hits Villain's range hard, which means:
- we do not have much fold equity;
- we do not have a value bet (need more than 50% equity);
- we can check back to realize our equity and pot control.
PS. I suggest using Equilab and put in ranges.
Not really, it's just that you don't really have a range advantage, but it doesn't mean you have to check even with AJ.
On the turn I don't mind the second barrel with the FD, I think checking back doesn't apply enough pressure on villain's range, but it should be quite close.
