Default kinda wacky bluff in 3r

This is done without a real read on villain. But is the J enough of a scare card to fold out lower pairs or is this just silly.

why would the J make lower pairs more likely to fold? it makes it less likely you have a J..

Would you call here with 22-66 (excluding 55 of course)if you were villain? At first I thought it was pretty bad but I can't imagine villain calling without a decent pair. I'm not even in bad shape against KQ unless its also sooted. I don't think a better ace calls either without a flush draw.

For some reason, the check raise on the flop followed by a check on the turn just screamed weak to me so my donk ass decided to fall into his trap but alas he folded. And I'm not trying to be results oriented, especially considering I felt dumb for doing this right after I did it but I'm trying to mix in stuff like this near the bubble. FWIW I showed and he said I was ahead, although I don't know if I believe that.
