First hand:
I open ATo from the SB, BB flats. I know villain as being extremely aggressive vs checks.
Flop is T54r. I check and he half pots. I check raise to pot and he calls.
Turn is offsuit K. I bet about half pot hoping to get called by his 66-99. He calls.
River is J. I check and he pots it and I fold.

Hello there Jordansimo, well if the Villain is over aggressive I don't see why to check-raise such a vulnerable hand out of position such as TPTK. Besides, we open way many hands from the SB, and we cannot represent too much here almost never.
If you didn't check-raised the flop you could get a cheaper river, instead you had to fold.
First, sorry had to edit it, over aggressive players have more bluffs than values on their ranges, so when we do check-raise OTF it is easy for over aggressive to be folding its bluffs and continue with strong hands only, besides our range from the SB is very uncapped and can simply has 100% of hands, this is why we are almost never check-raising SB x BB flops.

Turn is Td and villain half pots and I call.
River is 8s and it checks through. He wins with A8o with the 8s.
Obviously irritating outcome but I'm not sure what my flop play should have been. I can't see a flop CR being reasonable and vs his line my hand is essentially a bluff catcher.

Sorry, but this is not possible. How could the river be a 8 of Spades and Villain to be holding 8 of Spades? Second, CO should not be check-raising you here with its weak draws, because you have all the AA, KK and AK on your range and the only hands that could be raising for protection is 33, because it would be nasty for a made flush to raise here to get a ton of folds in the face.
So, having information that CO has only 1 combo of 33 that we are losing but not by far, we should be re-raising this spot or jamming with AA, KK and AK, for value and protection, so we do not let stupid player to realize its equity for a cheap price, plus we put its non-sense range into a lot of trouble.
