I understand why you checked behind the turn if you were worried about getting check/raised, but I think we miss too much value by not betting the turn here. If villain was going to check and be weird with a J then there's every chance they would have done that on the flop instead of leading. It's possible for villain to have so many weaker aces or even a gutter on the flop that I think betting 90c or $1 on the turn seems ideal. Fold to a raise and if checked to on the river probably half pot it.
As played, you have to flat the river because we're not going to like a push over a raise and we can't be sure how many of villain's weaker aces he's going to call a raise with after the way the hand played out.
As for preflop, my standard (not to say I wouldn't 3bet, just less likely) would be to flat AQ suited or offsuit here. The PFR is going to cbet a bunch of A-hi flops, and if he calls a 3bet we're not going to love a lot of calls on A-hi flops. We also want to keep the CO in the hand and we have no evidence to believe he flats a PFR and then a 3bet.
