Flop is dry, I cbet, turn is a J and it may not hit BB very often, river opp donk, I feel if opp has somthing he will check/call or c/r a based on I bet the flop and turn. What do you think?

Rule #1 of low stakes - don't pay them off.
As to the weird river bet. Miller's first rule or something. Out of flow, large river bets mean they just have it.
Issue is that when BB called OOP, he sure has something - being a meh PP, 9X or 5X. I don't expect a naked gutshot like 87 here.
But Hero bluffing flop doesn't really hit turned J very often. So our flop bluff don't improve often - if even Hero does have any flop bluff hitting this J. Question is then : what do we want to double barrel for bluff, aka if AKo does belong here ? I'd say rather not: I don't think V will fold a hand he called flop with very often, and we have better hand to bluff with - which blocks 9X / JX or which hits Jh like AhQh or JTs.
River is no question. Calling here makes sens only against a maniac, otherwise it's burning money. V called flop (and turn) and for sure as anything better than A high.
