AJ defend vs 3bet

Vs unknown vilain it's abc, easy as 123, xback turn, evaluate river to figure yes or no bet, avoid complicated situations with both SDV and draws, what do you think, yes or no, bet 32+anticipated raise of 5 for a total of 32.5 BB on river upon draw completion, solid play.

I think it's played ok A high still has some showdown value not a lot but some and you can get villain to fold some equity onthe turn even some hands like QQ JJ 88 AQ Tx 76s that are ahead on the turn that can fold without a spade + villains bluffs hands that are behind on the turn but still have equity.

preflop and flop are standard

turn you have 3 decisions, and all are pretty reasonable
-check turn bet river
-bet turn check river
-bet turn bet river.

68s and QJs got there. So did all of the flushes. What air hands do you have?
-AQ, AJ only I think.
-you also have weak made hands that can be turned into bluffs (J9s, 98s, 87s).

I would not turn TX (2nd pair) into a bluff. I think 7X should be turned into a bluff sometimes, and we can usually check 9X.

assuming you have no reads and want a well-rounded strategy, I would
-Bet the turn with your weakest hands (AQ AJ)
>continue firing river with spade blockers after betting the turn
-Check Turn and potentially bluff river with 9X and maybe some 7X

I really enjoy reading your replies to hh's they are for the most part very well explained

Against unknown, check back turn to try to hit your equity. Value river if hit, give up if not. No bluffing in NL2 without a very strong read. Next hand.
Against anybody with big, obvious flaws? Exploit the hell out of him. Example: he folds too much? Overbet turn (you have enough fold equity + actual equity if hit to make it profitable).
