NL400 SH: well I guess I take a strange line

UTG: 496.07
HJ: 652.85
CO: 462.28
BN: 451.67 (Hero)
SB: 520.67
BB: 504.50
SB is usually playing NL100 and starts shooting NL200 and 400. He's not scared, he's more the kind of player expecting regs of higher limits to shit on him, therefore making him willing to play back. He 3b 7% SB.
I assume he considers me good and widely agressive, but as I said that doesn't mean he'll play only for value against me as some players do.
BB seems to be an agressive recreational player (played 55/10 with 18% 3b over 50 hands, did bet/3b twice on the turn against me when I can credibly rep strong).
Preflop (6) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt A J
UTG folds, HJ folds, CO folds, Hero raises to 10, SB calls 8, BB folds
Flop (24) 7 J T (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets 12, SB raises to 44, Hero raises to 82
I do consider his big XR strong. I don't think AJ is good very often here. Instead of calling flop and folding most turns, I elected to turn my hand into a bluff flop, with the possibility of checking back some turns and bluffing some runouts (I think hearts, 9 and maybe 8 are good bluff cards. Hitting and A should give me the best hand).
Also I think vilain is not experienced enough to recognize that he can let me hang myself if he doest have a flopped straight or a set, so I think he'll just shove that and usually call with the rest of his range.

I like the 3b because vilain is unlikely to have JJ/TT imo, even with the fish BB, he's way more likely to 3b than to call when I have position, a very wide range and a skill edge. He also has only the 98s combos of straight, whereas I can have all of them.

IDK maybe I'm off and he'll just shove JT or any good draw on the flop, which would make my 3b pretty bad.
