What did he minraise preflop before? Small pocket pairs? He is clearly afraid of so many spades on the flop and doesnt want another one to come and because you dont have any , I think you should fold.
This hand is completely read-dependent so it is hard to comment on it.
He might have A7 also or some random crap although I doubt it.

Why such a large pfr with only AJo? Pot was .45 at the time and you raise to 1.35??????? Wait thats 3x the pot. Nevermind. Ummm .... I'm folding here. I believe he shows up with something like A8s/A2s/22/88 here. But as Colossus said, your action here is totally read dependent on what he has min-raised pf with before.

This is a really gross spot and this is why I would not try to build a big pot PF with a hand as weak as aj, even on the button. If you're trying to raise to isolate though, I understand why you make this play.

If you are raising to isolate, you need to trust your reads. What do you mean he plays "funny"? Is he aggressive and capable of big bluffs? Because that's pretty much all you can beat here. Unless you have a very strong read on this guy and raised to isolate because he is a maniac, I'd fold. If he just plays a little unconventionally or doesn't really know what he's doing but is not a true maniac, I'd fold in this spot.

Dun really like the c-bet size.. 3 dollars into 3.15 leaving yourself with $4 ++ behind.. In this situation i feel his range can be pretty wide from a K high flush draw to a set is pretty possible.. but wat does he minraise pf and call such a large pf raise.. kinda read dependent..

oops my bad its $5 ++ behind.. but i still think the c-bet sizing could be smaller on such a board..
