I hate taking this line as a bluff (bet/check/bet) since it is so weak, buuuuut was it OK here since my range would have a lot of Ax?

I think it's OK since the ace is a scare card for a lot of his hands. I'd prefer to bet a little bigger though, maybe $13. And I'd give it a few seconds of Hollywood before betting, but don't overdo it.

He's never folding a Q and he probably doesn't have one after checking the turn.

Bet the turn for value.

And as played I'm c/cing this river.

I like it because I don't have the cajones to do this very often. I don't think you fold out better hands very often though. JJ is really a bluff catcher here, as a lot of villain's range is busted draws, so I think I agree with minsim.
