ATs turn hammer vs thinking player

My opponent here is easily the strongest player I've run into in these games.
Profile:
o Fairly tight
o Will limp and min-raise, mixed with 3x openers
o Likes to under-bet. Lots of 1/2 pot type bets
o Yet to see him really make a really loose call

He knows I'm pretty aggro and we've been at it on 2 tables.

I don't like the turn CR. What are you repping here? It puts you in a horrible spot on the river if you get called and miss your draw. I like either leading for 3/4 pot or check/calling, but I think I lean more towards the check/call line since vilian is passive and tends to bet 1/2 pot or less.

Turn represents an overpair and the size of the cr is good given the stacks here, most likely 12 outs if he calls. I have personally done not so many semi-bluff CR's on turn but if I think my FE is really big I will do it. what is your plan for river if you hit a) A b)a spade?

i think if you hit A you should bet like half of pot and fold to a raise on river.

The turn check-raise represents a lot of hands, depending on what Fnord is capable of raising preflop. He could've flopped a set or a straight, turned a set of jacks, or he could have an overpair. This is a good line to use when you've been raising a lot preflop and continuing on the flop, especially if you've been check-folding the turn.

You were both racing to a flush, but he hit his on the river while also holding top pair of jacks.

i dont think a strong player would push the river with a pair of jacks.
