Default 400NL TP vs checkraising machine

Poker Stars, $2/$4 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

MP: $421.25
CO: $550.70
BTN: $537.10
SB: $512.20
BB: $442
Hero (UTG): $406

Pre-Flop: J A dealt to Hero (UTG)
Hero raises to $12, 3 folds, SB calls $10, BB folds

Flop: ($28) A 2 5 (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $21.25, SB raises to $62, Hero calls $40.75

Turn: ($152) K (2 Players)
SB bets $104, Hero calls $104

River: ($360) 3 (2 Players)
SB bets $334.20 and is All-In

Villain here is jj_raise. He has HUUUUUUUUUUUGE c/r on flop - 27% from big sample. His call open from BB is 13% and also 3bets 5% vs my position. Fish is on the button other guys are regs.

Ive seen this line from him before but i am kinda lost with a hand like mine. Should i call him all the way given the fact that if he c/r flop he usually goes bet turn shove river a lot of the time?

I mean we are UTG and he is in the SB. His range should be the tightest here than other situation we could find our selves in. Also I dont see people mucking about a lot with UTG cbets on boards like these. We just hit this flop to often for him to think its gonna be a good spot to bluff raises here. You might be situationally miss-applying your read here. I think you are strong enough of the time in this spot to be folding on the turn at least.

edit. if thats your read though and your happy calling turn I suppose you should be happy to call the river?

now i think more like you so i wanted to have more opinions on the hand if fold turn is ok... and also that if i call flop and turn im calling the river(more opinions here pls)

I think this might be a spot to checkback the flop. You are not getting 3 streets from anything anyway and you prevent yourself from getting in ugly spots like this.
If I decide to go with the hand I prefer shipping turn expecting to be good some of the time vs QJ/KJ/KQcc.
I'd get in A5/A2 on the flop since there is almost no chance we are beat and I wouldnt want to see a club turn...

Isn't AJ the same as A5/A2 here? Surely he's rarely flatting 22/55 vs our UTG range and does he raise flop with AQ?

I think it depends on whether he thinks you're gonna fold Ax and whether you think he has 22/55 in his range.. seeing him raise flop bet turn then giveup in the past makes it easier to fold.

if he has 22/55 he also has 33/44 which he will probably play the same. A5/A2 is much better than AJ since i think he can very easily have AK 4 value which didnt want to 3bet the UTG open...

Yeah for me in late position VS his traits, bet call and you have the nuts. From early position, check it back.

I've played a lot vs this c#*k s#cker and for me it's a b/c flop and you have to make a decision on the turn, the fact is he is a thin value bettor, also a bluffer, also a spewtarded monkey, the river spot is very very hard to play, it's obv your hand is Ax+, flushdraw misses and if you don't see him as a thin value bettor you'll probably hero call him so he might not spew this river so it's closer to a river fold, however A5 and A3 are calls.

seems like a fold, only beating fds or really ambitious multistreet bluffs that don't seem to occur that often. later street hud stats would be more important here than flop ones since 27% flop cr isnt a good reason to call down if turn bet only comes with a similar frequency.
