With shove the problem is that nothing worse calls you so best case scenario you are flipping. So if your only option is fold or shove I would go for fold. However if you know that villain tends to give up postflop when not connected then I would go for a call even knowing we are just 15bb deep.
Hey,
All 3 options are possible.
1) fold pre cause he seems tight and AJo isnt reallt good against his standard range (i like it the least)
2) call, AJo is still decent hand and we could overplay him post flop. He is 18/13 so he isnt barreling much and most likely playing for value.
3)3b shove, we turn our hand into bluff, but we pick up the pot a lot of times, unless his fold to 3b is really small. Then i like call pre more.

I doubt his range is wide enough for shove to be profitable. AQ+, 99+ would be likely ok. So folding AJo is likely best.
Flatting is bad without some special reason. We have position, but this shallow it doesn't help that much. We flat, blinds fold --> Pot is 550 --> Villain cbet 300 what are we going to do without hit? Even when flop comes e.g. Axx we might often get chips in only when we are beat.
2/3 of time we miss. So do we shove over his cbet? Float call flop and only have 1 PSB in turn? Meaning any turn bet is pretty much committing us into the pot. Nah stacks are just too shallow. Around 20bb deep flatting would be ok. If villain is very passive and not cbetting much then flat can be ok imo.
