Default Take some thin value vs a donk?

Vil is a donk whose been running about 55/25/1 over only about 60 hands. I have been playing more aggressive than usual, so about 22/19 and been in a few pots with no showdowns.

Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $2/$4 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: $234.80
BB: $443.70
UTG: $596.20
MP: $722.60
CO: $297.30
Hero (BTN): $400.00

Preflop: Hero is dealt J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (6 Players)
2 folds, <font color="red">CO raises to $16.00</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $50.00</font>, 2 folds, CO calls $34.00

Flop: ($106) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
CO checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($106) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
CO checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $62.00</font>, CO calls $62.00

River: ($230) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
CO checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $110</font>

<font color="blue">Thoughts? His hand looks marginal and with the flush draw missing I can rep a missed draw.</font>

I like it, and I don't think this is all that thin. Nice hand.

unless you have seen this guy payoff with underpairs and such, i think its very marginal and would think that a $78 bet might get looked up more than a bet of over 100.

The way this line comes down with the $110 bet on the river, i like this bet size as a total bluff (if you had no nothing) rather than betting the J for value.

I would bet it too, and I like your bet-sizing. You'll be rudely surprised by AQ/KQ once in a while, but he'll often pay this bet off with a jack or even something like Ac9c ime.

I like it a lot. He's not calling the river w/ AcXc for much more, and you get paid off by a weaker J a lot here. Nice hand.

Would you bet this river with AK? AK and AJ are about the same here. You should check behind, IMO.
