Default $50 NL: Seeing Monsters or Am I Beat?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Villian haas not gotten out of line all session.

Flop: I viewed his weak flop bet as an attempt to steal the pot, but when he called I knew it was time to play poker. I put his range on FD, AXs, KQ, middle PP including TT.

Turn: I didn't like the turn card as AJ is more likely in his range than say A3. And a J made his most likely straight draw (KQ).

When he checked the Turn I was half expecting a c/r, which is probably why I perhaps bet it too light. I was also concerned about betting too much and folding out a PP-type hand. Down side is I gave drawing hands decent odds.


River: Wasn't scared of the 8, but was concerned that he bet out. No way folding, just not sure if I call or raise.

Questions:

Turn - Does that J slow you down or do you bet bigger?

River - Call, push, or min-raise thinking his is a blocking bet?
