Default 10NL - QQ Line Check

<font color=" red">Reads:
Villain is CO running at 10/7.2/0.5 over ~50 hands. Seems to be a thinking player.

I've been trying to play aggressively. I've been working on trying out the line of 3/4 pot bet on flop, 2/3 on turn, and 1/2 on river as my standard line (the standard line in FTS), so the table's seen me fire some fairly big bets in relation to the pot. Aggression shouldn't necessarily convince them I have the nuts...</font>

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
6 players
[url=http://www.neildewhurst.com/hand-converter]Converter[/url

Stack sizes:
Hero: $9.55
UTG+1: $11.05
CO: $10
Button: $12.05
SB: $4.30
BB: $8.25

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $0.4</font>, UTG+1 folds, CO calls, 2 folds, BB calls.

<font color="blue"> Typical raise, but UTG. I haven't done much UTG raising, but still I get two callers. </font>

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($1.25, 3 players)
BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $1.25</font>, CO calls, BB folds.

<font color="blue"> The flop is not very drawy, but I still bet full pot to hopefully just get 1 caller so I'm not too worried in the case that an overcard hits the turn. </font>

Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($3.75, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $2.5</font>, CO calls.

<font color="blue"> Essentially a blank, so I bet enough to leave villain w/ about 2/3 PSB on the end (the fact that it's the 2/3 Pot prescribed by the FTS line is coincidence... I'm sizing my bet to win his stack). </font>

River: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($8.75, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero is all-in $5.4</font>, CO calls.

<font color="blue"> The Ace hits, and I'm a bit worried because AJ is certainly in his range here, but I go ahead and shove since I think I can still get called by a Jack (since my line hasn't really been consistent with AK or A5 or any other Ace except AJ for that matter, and villain doesn't seem the type to call such big flop/turn bets with Ace high). </font>

Results:
Final pot: $19.55

The main purpose of this post is to ask is to see if even though I set up the entire hand to push and get called on the end, do I follow through after the river Ace or do I should I change lines to a c/c? It seems that this line loses out on some value since a lot of Jacks will just check behind. All thoughts are appreciated.
