NL5 AQs defending BB

Blinds: $0.02/$0.05 (6 Players) MP: $4.89
CO: $5.91
BN: $4.86
SB: $5.11
BB: $6.24 (Hero)
UTG: $2.01
Preflop ($0.07) Hero is BB with Q A
2 folds, CO raises to $0.15, BN calls $0.15, SB folds, Hero raises to $0.75, CO calls $0.60, BN calls $0.60
Squeezing to 5x should be fine
Flop ($2.27) 4 J J
Hero bets $0.90, CO calls $0.90, BN folds
Flop is very dry, so I think sizing is fine
Turn ($4.07) 4 J J 5
Hero checks, CO checks
I guess I should keep barreling? If so, should I keep the size small?
River ($4.07) 4 J J 5 4
Hero bets $1.95, CO calls $1.95
As played the bet doen't make sense. I think it would be better to triple barrel here

I don't like the flop bet at all. Your hand does not have much draw potential and your OOP against 2 players. Especially BN seems to be the sticky rec kind of player that I wouldn't try to barrel off of their hand in this spot.

Which hands can villains have that they would against your bet, actually?

What is your squeeze range here? TT+, AJs+, KQs+, KQo (blockers) and something like A5s/76s/65s for balance or is it more narrow than this? And what are your thoughts on CO calling range and BTN's calling range?

Either way, combined, they will have a bunch more Jx than you will. You have some JJ and AJs and that is about it unless you are squeezing KJs and QJs but that is a stretch.

I think I would start out with a check here on this board and in the Multi Way dynamic on the flop. Heads up I can see a better argument for betting. If you think ahead to the turn, what turns are you betting/continuing on and what turns are you check/folding on?
