Only 2 hands on villain, so effectively no reads, Zoom.

Line check? I think we can go for 3 streets, but river? Puke call? Are we ever good here vs unknown or i made a nitty fold? Probably should go slightly higher for value...

I think you played this well.

3 streets of value on this board texture at 2NL is fine. You'll get called by a ton of worse Ax hoping for a chop.

On the river I've no idea what he plays this way, but I would still fold only having 2 hands on villain. Hero calling vs unknowns at these stakes isn't a good way to go

Your line is fine, I like to go for a c-c on the river as the FD bricked and we give them a chance to stab. If I bet it's too b/f. I would have made the river bigger if betting to around 60c.

turn bet can be bigger. River you either bet like 0.45-0.55 then fold to a raise or you check/ call.

Very good to bet the river and as for the fold it is pretty close. Villain does not actually rep much and the draw missed. At these stakes people can play random so it is read dependent. It is not BAD to fold but maybe closer than we think.

Very weird to see a raise on the river here. I guess we can assume he had JJ, quads or AJ and decided to play it this way.
Again some people can do weird stuff and I can't honestly think what he is repping apart from hit flop real hard and played slow till river, you see this more in the tiny stakes.
I'd say a call would be good if you had some reads but I can't hate the fold either.

River bet is probably thinner than it looks especially with the J on the board. At least the sizing is relatively smaller. Certainly doesn't want to be bigger, could reduce it further unless we are certain that villain has calling-station tendencies. Truth is that most guys are not going to call 3 streets here with AT unless they are bad.
