Villain is a reg ,we are early on the match,and there is not much info on him,except that he is on the aggressive side(3betting a lot,cbetting and 2b above average prob).
I know that having more info about villain would help a lot on that spot,but whats best here?

I have a hard time comming up with a range of hands that he double barrels and then checks on the river when both the K and the Club falls, all of the flush and straight draws completed and all of the broadway hands improved. I think this may be an AA, AK, AQ, AJ type of hand that's checking because it has no idea of what it's value betting against at this point.

I think you can definitely turn AJ into a bluff here.

Assuming villain can fold a pair of Aces and worse in this spot I would shove. Villain rarely has air in this spot and probably dislikes the river. Most players won't check the river with 2pair+ so I'd put some pressure on.
