AJ Flops Second Pair on Dangerous Board.

Villain has been ramping up the aggression postflop slightly after playing largely fit or fold. He is a thinking opponent. I guess I don't see a reason to ever bet in this hand, as Villain is not calling me with anything I beat on the turn and I'm in very little danger of being drawn out on if I'm ahead. What would I do against a river bet? I haven't played any hands against him on such dangerous boards yet, so I have no idea what his tendencies are here. No Limit Holdem Tournament • 2 Players$10.00+$0.50Hand converted by the official HUSNG.com hand converterSBHero1605 BBSuited Junk1395 Effective Stacks: 14bbBlinds 50/100

Flop value does look good

Flop value does look good here, otherwise the hand is fine.

Some postflop reads would be helpful here, something more specific than "has been a little more aggro lately" to really make this flop decision (and sizing) clear to us.

"What would I do against a river bet?" After this turn card, I'm done with the hand unless the river is a spade.  I'd call a smallish turn bet since I still have the nut-fd, but never bluff nor call any river bet.
