AcJd SB

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (6 Players) BN: $19.05
SB: $13.69 (Hero)
BB: $10.00
UTG: $8.24
MP: $9.58
CO: $10.00
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is SB with J A
2 folds, CO raises to $0.25, BN folds, Hero raises to $0.90, BB folds, CO calls $0.65
Flop ($1.90) J 6 A
Hero bets $1.19, CO calls $1.19
obv betting here, worst aces may call and gutshots, second pair, maybe even under pocket pairs
Turn ($4.28) J 6 A K
Hero bets $2.04, CO calls $2.04
I'm not loving this turn since I'm thinking QT and AK is in his range but I think there's still more worst hands... KJ, weak aces,,, something like KQ... I think I'm still betting my second pair there.. hard choice if he shoves it though I think but it would be hard to fold regardless
River ($8.36) J 6 A K 8
Hero bets $5.87, CO calls $5.87 and is all in
and well... same reason I bet ott I bet otr... river is a brick and I have a two pair in a 3betpot, he may still have some weaker hands so I want value from it
Final Pot SB lost and shows two pair, Aces and Jacks.
CO wins and shows three of a kind, Kings.
CO wins $19.20
Rake is $0.90
I lost this one but I'm guessing is just a cooler, maybe just for checking if there is a better default way to play it... guy is like a reg 20/17 83h

Three streets of valuebetting seems (slightly) too optimistic in this specific spot. Both you and villain have too many stronger hands to do this in my view.

I would alternate between the following two options, preferring the latter in general.
(1) checking AJ on the turn, to calldown is effective.
(2) betting turn to check/call river is effective (if opponent is capable to turn hands into a bluf - otherwise x/f is decent too)

WP
He has a ton of worse hands to call with, like Ax, worse 2pairs and like the occasional hero calls w/ like Kx.

Sizing ott might be a little small but not that much.

This is one of those hands we're we just have to go bet-bet-bet since we get called from a lot worse and also if we say check the river villain will sometimes check back worse that he would've called off with and also shove better and we hate life but sigh call hoping he value shoves worse or turns a like KQ/QJ into a bluff which is hoping for much at these stakes. =)

Hmm.. I think I was a little bit too conservative in my assessment of this situation. I now agree AJ is a triple barrel indeed versus a cut off call3b range. I do think its the absolute bottom of it. Valuebetting A8 would be too optimistic, because AJ is such a big portion of villain his range too.
