A lot of limpers and a weak ace does not equal raise to me. What does Hero do with a AJx rainbow flop?

As played Hero is in the cat bird seat. Continuation bet is good, but I would make it more, at least 1/2 pot. As played the UTG check raise looks light. There is $90 in the pot  when he check raises so $15 of the $65 check raise is a call.  When Hero calls there is $210 in the pot and $520 behind with two streets to go.  Hero's nut flush wants to get it in.

The 9 on the turn is a brick and when Villain beats $150 with $370 (Villain bet called $15, check raise $65 and raised $150 for a total of $230) behind. I am asking myself what is the best way to get it all in. I don't worry about the 20% of the time the board pairs.

If Hero calls there is $450 in the pot. I see the problem. Perhaps instead of a shove perhaps a $300 check raise is in order. Villain needs to call $150 leaving $220 behind and a $750 pot.  Calling $150 to win $600 is not the right odds and if Hero shoves on the river Villain needs to call $220 to win $970.

I really can't fault the shove because I would have called if I were Villain.  LOL.
