And if he does tell you he stupidly folded a set, re-assure him that you had AJ. You want him to stick around.
On this specific board, I think a raise is definitely best against any player who isnt tight or really good. Too many cards can kill your action or hand (any A, J or 9 for ex) and JT, QJ, QT, KT all can call you. If the board wasnt so connected, a flat is likely best. Raise to $85 on flop and shove turn to charge draws, get max value.
Is he really folding two pairs or even pair+open ender to a small raise? probably not. also if you flat flop and he fires big on turn, are you really getting away from your hand?
