I don't consider it a big mistake to call preflop with AJs when we looking the balance.  In fact if we 3bet preflop 100% of the time with this hand, our range possibly becomes clearer for villain.  What happens is that in cash games we usually give a lot of importance to the relevant blockers, depending on how the texture of the board comes.  And in a preflop instance, a large part of the time we will want to be ahead of the combinations that dominate our position.  Hence the idea of a preflop balance, as a first step.
 According to what we played our range is quite reduced to flush draw combos.  In this texture I prefer to block flush cards and not block any full house / Q scales.  I understand that waiting for T high in V is quite optimistic, but in this texture we must remember that it could represent a FH of tens and that it blocks a straight and unlocks FD combos.  Also when calling in pre we have an unlimited range and we also represent some full houses OTR.  As for the frequency that the villain can have boats, it is really low.  If villain had a set, he would most likely protect it better on the flop and continue with the second barrel on the turn.  It also seems quite tight (although my assessment could be very wrong, due to the size of the sample).  So his bluff range increases when we raise OTR, because the villain perceives our maximum range limit, and he will want to level himself most of the time, when he can also represent his maximum value.  At least that's what we can perceive most clearly, when we really didn't interfere with his more strong bluff range for this texture.
Greetings.
