Couple of situs here that I wanted to run by everyone, hoping to weed out some leaks.

Situ 1)
Preflop AJs on the button, Bob behind you in mid pos or Co., raise to 3-4xbb, blinds fold, Bob calls possible flops:

a) J74 rainbow
b) J74 2 of your suit
c) J66 rainbow
d) J66 2 of your suit
e) JT4 rainbow
f) JhTh4h (you have no hearts)
g) JhTh9h (no hearts again)
h) QJ4 rainbow
Bob bets 2/3 Pot, action to you

Bare minimum reads on Bob show he is somewhere between rock and lagg but not extreme of either and may limp things like pockets and suited connectors.

a) TPTK uncoordinated board, standard is reraise about 3x his raise to see where I'm at, fold to a push, correct?
b) Definitely raise here, we have outs over a set, and if the stacks aren't terribly deep you call a push here, right?
c,d) Definitely raise here, right? but again, do you call a push and how do you play the turn if he flat calls/checks and your flush doesn't complete? Fire again or take a free card?
e) Str8 draw, I raise here to see what's up.
f) I feel like folding is correct here, I don't think I'd bet into that board without serious strength out of position, and I definitely don't like calling.
g) I'd definitely
h) Overcard is scary, but pockets and draws still are representing a lot of the time on this flop... I really have no idea what to do here.

Are there any specific opponents that drastically modify the situation?

Situ 1)
Preflop AJs on the button, Bob behind you in mid pos or Co., raise to 3-4xbb, blinds fold, Bob calls possible flops:

a) J74 rainbow
Call or raise small. If villain is pussy in big pots, then fold if he threats for your stack.

b) J74 2 of your suit
Raise flop, call push, this hand plays itself. You have many ways to play it, calling flop is also good because it will induce more bets from worse kickers, while flop raise will fold them out.

c) J66 rainbow
Call or raise small, actually you can just call here with your entire range (including AK/AQ if you feel like floating), because calling on dry boards doesn't narrow your range by much and it will also put villain to the tough spot.

d) J66 2 of your suit
Ask for a deck change lol wtf r1ggd

e) JT4 rainbow
Raise, consider folding to his push if he doesn't b/3b semibluff.

f) JhTh4h (you have no hearts)
Call and play the turn because your equity vs his range sucks. Try to play small pot, but if 4rd heart hits turn after you called flop, you can consider representing that heart. Folding right away is not bad either.

g) JhTh9h (no hearts again)
Call and play the turn or just fold, this board is gross, you don't have much edge against his range.

h) QJ4 rainbow
Call and play the turn. It's WA/WB most likely.

Bob bets 2/3 Pot, action to you

Versus nits, who lead only strong, you don't want to raise that often. You may want to fold right away those hearts boards and play with caution your pair.

Versus loose passive donks, you want to raise smaller and value bet yourself instead of calling.

Versus aggro monkeys, you can raise flop and play for stacks on any of those 2 suit boards and dry J66 boards, because it can induce them to pull off Yeti theory on you. Your TPTK is much stronger vs superaggro opponents.
