Post | JoyO posted in NLHE: Thoughts On This Bluff with AJ?

Is this bluff too much? When villain bets HP on this turn I believe he is betting a weaker pair that will fold in some spots. Villain has a turn and river bet of 50-60% so I think I won't get to show down easily if I call the turn and there are some holdings like AK, weak pairs, and bluffs I can get to fold.

I could see villain doing this with a lot of Ax like A5s+, A9o+, 66, 77, KT/s, K9s, Q9s, QT/s.
I thought that with the nut flush blocker and a blocker to some QJ I could represent a straight and fold out some weaker holdings that would bet HP on the hand. The only issue I could see is that with hands like Q9 and QT he also has a blocker that is relevant and could potentially hero call, however I think those hands are too weak to call a river jam.

I think this board works well for my range, but I'm not sure if I should be bluffing with AJ here. Maybe I should only be bluffing with AJs in this spot instead.

UTG is limp folding a lot of hands and I only have BB to get through who has 42% VP. I think I can complete or raise, but since I am such a small stack compared to rest I felt I could shove ahead of their ranges and either get folds and collect dead money or get called and have good ev. Not sure if this is a mistake in retrospect and I should wait for a better spot in a FT with weak players.

At 30:00, from villains perspective, is the river a call with AK?
