Re: JJ would you have played it differently?
There are two lines you could take here on the turn.
a) you could keep betting. The A is a scare card for him, too and see how he responds. But I probably would fold to a raise.
b) You could check the turn as you did, but then fire off a value bet on river. As others mentioned, there are some combinations like lower PP that will still call that bet, plus some non-paired overcards that will call thinking we are bluffing. Unfortunately at micros a c/r on the river is VERY strong, so you would have to fold to raise, but I still think the value of betting is larger than the times you lose that bet to a c/r.
BTW, your EV by value-betting is not very large as others mentioned, but it's those small little things that make the difference, IMO.
Also, if this were mid-limit, I still would have no idea what to do with a c/r as people are very capable of c/r bluffing a busted draw there.
