This guy seemed pretty loose overall and so I made a flat pre and I don't that's bad. I'd normally be fine folding.
He seemed pretty aggro so I opted to just let him bet. He decides to check the turn and then bet river?
What do you think about this river spot?

Pre flop AJo should be a standard call vs a CO open. You're well ahead of a usual range. How wide are you defending as a default?

Flop and turn are standard.

On the river you can bet small for value, even with an overcard coming. When villain checks behind turn he will expect you to bluff hands such as missed flush draws and sometimes A3s, so you will get called wider than you might think with TT 98s at least. His range is capped so you're almost never up against anything strong which reduces the combos that beat you.

Yeah I was talking to someone about a small river bet.

I miss read the hand when looking over, I normally defend vs CO with AJ of course.

Most of villains qx should bet ott as they will likely block loads of our jx hands. Therefore I begin to remove a lot of qx from villains range otr and expect him to turn up with some random hand that decided a Q is a good river bluff card because it's an over card to the J. I would x/c at 50nl as most regs don't think enough about what they would do with QT KQ AQ ott and end up with loads of bluffs. 10nl idk, maybe betting small is best.

The preflop call is good.

On the river I'd just go for a x/c. At 10NL is a player is vbetting a Jx on the flop I'd expect them to keep doing it on the turn as well. Once the Qx peels off on the river I don't think you're getting called by too many hands worse than Jx. I'd give him the opportunity to bluff the Qx river since it's a decent bluff card (ie, an overcard).
