Why such a large flop bet? I get the flop is dynamic but his range is super wide there and it smashes your range. I'd go like 3500 there.
The x/r is pretty strong against your half pot CB but I don't see how you can do anything other than call. Your range is pretty wide on the BTN too and he could be doing this with draws. And although he could have some better Ax, he should have 3b the really good ones. So I think I call and see what he does on the turn.
Flop bet size is good (I also look to make it about 60% pot). The flop smashes our range (and not the BB's).
The BB c/r bet size is slightly small (though could be normal for this BB as it is 3x) probably looking to get called. Also it is over 30% effective stack size so it is pot committing. Because of that I would fold. In most cases when BB c/r a draw (or double draw) they look to do it where there is a good chance for a fold. On this flop because of AJ there isn't as much chance for a fold. Given that we have a bad kicker and no flush draw I would fold.
