i like your play untill the turn, AJ is also a hand we could 3bet pre flop, our raise on this dry flop is for one reason. fold equity. when villian calls our check raise his range narrows considerably to Kx holdings and 7x, 88-QQ. Our perceived range contains fewer kings than villians as we would 3bet many strong kings (and some suited bluff kings preflop). therefore our bet on the turn very likely lacks any fold eqiuty.
i would give up once he calls our flop check raise.

Strong hands like AK you would three-bet preflop. So he already rules out that you have a very strong K. The range advantage is all with him.

Dry flop, you don't represent many two pair.

Could it be three of a kind? Only from 77 and 22.

He must have put you with a weak K, a pair of 7s and maybe a pair like 55, 44, 88, 99 (or just a bluff)... In all situations you couldn't take his bets and he played in an exploitative way.

You still have a blocker of AK in your hand, but also a blocker of all the aces he could have bet and missed on the flop.

Anyway, I believe that with this board and with these cards in your hand, it is not the best situation to bluff.

I dont really like the flop raise, if you had a back door flush draw then fine but all you have is a gutshot, and you might be ahead anyway so could call. When you whiff turn it's time to give up I think, I dont hate the barrel but a K or set are unlikely to fold.

I agree with those who say it could be 3-bet preflop. The call is also acceptable when we are HU since we can go more unnoticed in terms of range. On the flop the x/r line is interesting because on this dry board, you can bluff to represent some values that didn't encourage you to 3-bet preflop, like 88 or 99.
One point to note is that when you bluff, it's because you don't have enough equity to call and you also don't have showdown value.
In 5NL AJo probably still doesn't have much showdown value for this texture, so trying a bluff is really a good play for these stakes.
The turn comes with little impact on the ranges, since they are mostly representing values and not flush draws. In other words, in a neutral texture, it is better to check your entire range and get information from your opponent, according to the way he plays.
From your villain's perspective, the board favors your range more, since the hands that called pre and that later decided to raise on the flop, they might be looking to get all of the value on the turn (as you played). In change if you check on the turn, it could be a trap for that V to call in with his entire stack the times that you decides to x/jam OTT. (actually here you would be looking to see the river for free or fold OTT against an uncovered range). As played I like fold this turn.
Greetings.

I liked the way you played preflop, not because your villain is aggressive, but because I like to mix my actions preflop, let’s say that I will flat sometimes the way you did, 3-bet sometimes and once in a while fold, for the opponent is a NIT, for it had polarized too much preflop, etc
The bet on the flop was fine but you could’ve checked as well, considering your villain is aggressive and it is going to make the pot grows more times.
We do not have many bluffs here, so when villain shoves, the fold is standard.
I don’t think you had nothing to be cold calling that jam.
