the guys shove with AJ...is bad, but he has reasoning i'm sure. the best play here IMO is just call. if you for some dumb reason made it 3x, i like the shove MUCH better than when you just min raise. i imagine his reasoning is that if he 3bets he has to call a shove, or make a real marginal fold (although 3betting turns his hand into a bluff anyway so don't see why he'd 3bet). and calling he has to check/fold if he misses. basically, his reasoning is majorly flawed, but i understand it...and yes he's scared to play flops OOP against a player thats obviously better than him =D
