$1000 NL HE Full Ring: What would your play be?

Ok guys I am going to put up an interesting hand I was faced with todday in the casino.
The game is 5/10 NL Hold 'Em
I am UTG
Villian(opponent) is in the BB.
I was dealt AJ off so i upped it to 40$.
Folded around to villian who went into the tank for at least 5 minutes. He then raised to 220. I thought this was a standard raise for AK, QQ, or JJ. So I just flat called to take a look at the flop.
Flop came Ks Qd 10h.
Perfect flop. Nut straight with a rainbow flop. No flush draws.
I check hoping to trap but villian also checks. Very interesting.
Turn is another K.
Scary card so I bet out 280 which is about half the pot. Villian then shoves with a little over 500 left in his stack.
First lets look at the pot odds.
It will be 500 into a pot of a shy over 1500. So getting 3:1 to call.
However lets remember his action. Reraise preflop. Check the flop.
This means only one of two things at these llimits. He flopped a set and tried to slow play it or had an underpair like 7s or 8s perhaps.
Before I post my thoughts, and my conclusion, I would like to hear other inputs. So lets get going everyone......What do you think I should do, and what is Villians hand?

I think its a pretty clear call to me depending on image of villain. If villain is decent then we can think about folding, however i dont really see him checking a set on that board unless you have history. If that is the case though, there might be enough history for him to try and get you off a better hand.

tough spot depending on villain, but if there's no read I think we have to call. Think we honestly might have to call based on odds regardless but ill let the pros come in and comment on that part.

You are not deep enough to call a 3bet OOP with AJo, really really standard fold.

I just straight out bet the flop, it hits his entire range.

this is a clear fold preflop given the hand range u put villain on.

i think u should expect to lose this a fair number of times but i think the pots odds justify a call because i think he has AK in this situation a decent amount of the time

I have to agree with Tenbob. I bet this flop and see what happens. Hopefully, we can get it all in on the flop when he raises me with his set. OR he simply folds and I win a pot. I wouldn't have called his pop pre-flop. AJ is UGLY with this re-raise. Even if he's stealing. You were UTG and he could careless. NICE HAND SIR and move on.

It's a definite call but why are you calling his 3bet preflop. Based on the range you put him on your a huge dog preflop. Also since you're in position it would be impossible for him to check behind on the flop??? So did you "slowplay" and check behind on the flop or did you list his position wrong and you called his 3bet OOP?

Really depends on both of your images...

I probably would have lead out on the flop...but on the turn you're almost 50/50 call/fold. Based on your read, the only hand you put him on that you can beat are AA/JJ. KK AK QQ 10 10 and KQ all destroy you.

The biggest thing is the tanking for 5 minutes preflop and quick shove here...I don't know what that means w/o playing with him.

1. Fold AJo the first time, UTG I wouldn't raise it, but it's not the worst in the world

2. BB makes a HUGE 3-bet. We should be insta-mucking it, calling is just downright awful here.

3. We have a straight, we're getting good odds, we're live, I probably call turn. But this is why we don't call with AJ. Despite getting the absolute best flop ever, we get into a really tough spot. And even if we get his entire stack when we hit we aren't even getting that great implied odds. So yeah, I fold preflop both times, but definitely the 2nd time.

Once i make a bad call like aj and i hit that flop.... Iam insta-shoving. Hes gotta put u on the absolute nuts. If he dont hes donating his money. If hes got a big pair and sets and draws out then.... well u shouldnt have called the three bet with aj... <------ Like my expert analysis. AHAHAHHAA

Calling off 1/5th of your stack preflop with garbage, flopping the nuts, and then folding getting 3:1 sounds about right to me

The way this hand was played is consistant with how an ordinary $2NL guy would play A J online. Hugely overvalue it pre flop and put your money in behind (based on the range you put villian on) hoping to get lucky, then check once you hit a miracle flop and are infront.
