HU in a ~$20 rebuy MTT vs. a pretty good player. Villain and I have tons of history, he's really aggressive and loves making moves on me. Blinds were huge and it's been a shove fest for about 10 mins already, just passing blinds back and forth.
This hand was the first time he limped so I was obviously scared he had a big hand and just checked. I'm interested to hear what you guys would do.
~$20 1 rebuy, $5 bounty; heads-up
3000/6000 (2 handed).
Table Information

Interested to know what you would do here? I find it highly unlikely he just limped in preflop w/ A2-AJ and checked the flop, so the only thing I thought he could have here is AK/AQ (if he just wanted to induce a shove preflop and thought his hand is too strong to bet on the flop). Even that I thought was unlikely, so I thought his range here is kind of weighted towards the air side. He also tends to make smallish bluff raises afaik.
Spoiler shows what I ended up doing, but I wanted to know what some of you would do in this situation. Would any of you c/c the turn?
