10NL : BvB line check

Less than 50 hands on villian so no reads.

Alright so BvB how is my line ?

Poker Stars $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players

BB: $17.90
UTG: $13.75
MP: $2.10
CO: $8.80
BTN: $9.85
Hero (SB): $11.05

Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is SB with J A
4 folds, Hero raises to $0.30, BB raises to $0.50, Hero calls $0.20

Flop: ($1.00) A K 2 (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $0.20, Hero calls $0.20

Turn: ($1.40) 5 (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $0.40, Hero calls $0.40

River: ($2.20) 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $0.90, Hero calls $0.90

I might donk the river, although this really reeks of AQ.

Looks a lot like some Ax hand pot controling and given the flop + turn action I'd throw in Kx too. I doubt Kx value bets the river though.

I like your line for the most part. I wouldn't be surprised to be out-kicked though.

Since it is BvB I wouldn't necessarily put BB on A w/ better kicker.

I don't have a big problem with your line, but I would have bet the flop and maybe the turn (if BB didn't raise me on the flop)

Meh, passive players won't often take this line with really bad Aces.

Agreed most of these guys will just flat call defend their BB with weak Aces imo.
