Another rule of PLO: Don't slowplay. (btw, VPIP and PFR have nothing to do with slowplaying spots, agression is a way more important stat)

I def bet the river, probably not getting called, but best chance in getting paid imo

I might even bet turn hoping to get raised by JJ or something... AJ probably isn't putting any more action in on any river anyways so try and build a pot I think

When MP raises this flop he has something, so go ahead and reraise.

I don't think he can get off the hand if he has AJ or JJ/22 but he might be raising the flop to get a free card on the turn (a limit holdem play that is often misapplied to PLO, it shouldn't work because you shouldn't slow play big hands).

As played, checking the turn and river is the best play, villain might well try to buy the pot on the end and I am not sure he calls with worse (if he had AJ its an easy river fold and he bets JJ on the turn).
