Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero has A♣ 7♣

UTG calls $1.00, fold, fold, Hero raises to $4.00, fold, CO calls $4.00, fold, fold, fold, fold

Flop: ($10.50, 2 players) 8♥ A♦ 2♠
Hero checks, CO bets $6.00, Hero calls $6.00

Turn: ($22.50, 2 players) J♣
Hero checks, CO bets $11.00, Hero calls $11.00

River: ($44.50, 2 players) 2♥
Hero checks, CO bets $23.00, Hero calls ??

CU is a reg with 11/9 stats while UTG is fish 52/15.
I raised pf to isolate the fish.
Is it better to cbet the flop? CU is a TAG who might fold med pp if I bet with an ace showing on the flop. But when he bets the turn, should I know that I am beat and fold or is it too weak?

Generally it's possible to check the flop, but you have to be aware that it weakens your cbettingrange significantly so an observing opponent will not give you credit on those dry Ahigh boards anymore once you do cbet.

Once you start check-calling, I think you have to call flop and turn.
On the river however IMO it's a c/f as this looks very much like a valuebet from AQ or AK.
Also not many opponents are capable of following through with a bluffbarrel on the river because your range looks like either some TT-KK type hand that potcontrols or a trapping Ax that's not gonna fold.
