A5o BUvsBB river decision

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (6 Players) BN: $17.65 (Hero)
SB: $10.00
BB: $21.72
UTG: $13.08
MP: $19.47
CO: $10.00
no reads or stats on villain.
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is BN with A 5
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.20, SB folds, BB calls $0.10
Flop ($0.45) A 7 K
BB checks, Hero bets $0.31, BB calls $0.31
We have a lot of Ax hands in this spot, I was thinking if we check any back in this situation or bet all of them 100%?
Turn ($1.07) A 7 K 2
BB checks, Hero bets $0.72, BB calls $0.72
Betting my hand here to protect from possible flushes and still get getting value from Kx type of hands.
River ($2.51) A 7 K 2 6
BB bets $2.00, Hero folds
This was a really wierd spot for me. I folded here because I have a lot better hands in this spot to call that river bet like better Ax, 2p hands. Also my read vs the population is that they generally don't bluff at all on the river and we have a bd flush here so that even more reassures me that he has us beat. At the same time it looks like a bluff and we hold the Ac but Im not sure if it matters here in this spot. I mean he shouldn't have many flushes here because how many BD flushes called the flop? QJ, QT, I dont see him calling any Xc7c with AK on the flop.

So kinda lost on the river here, population reads tell me he doesn't bluff here, but his line doesn't make much sense.
Final Pot BB wins $2.40
Rake is $0.11

Thanks for the help.

I'm not a fan of the flop play if you use a bet size of more than 40% pot. Using a bigger size means you have to check all you underpairs and weaker pairs. With a polar flop strategy you should mostly bet AT+ for value on the flop with a few weaker Ax hands to bet flop and check turn and the occasional KQ with BDFD type hand to have a few KX hands in your range.

I don't see how you can expect to get value from worse on the turn given your bet-sizing on the flop and turn.

Also, if you bet A5 for value on the flop and turn here, what does it reveal when you check?
