1) I do not have the skills to play J9o in this situation, even against a weak opponent. So, fold preflop.
2) The flop check/raise intended to find whether V holds a Q or not. I am not sure that her call, strengthens her range. I think that she would 4b/shove with a Q to protect the hand against draws and for value.
3) The river bet size does not make sense. However, all my bets sizes aimed to be aligned with my weak hand strength. In that way, I can get calls from weaker hands.
4) As played, I was convinced (given the history) that V does not hold a Q. On top of that, her river shove eliminates AA, KK, AJ, TT. The only hand that is consistent with her line is AK.
As a final thought, I was dragged into this hand without a clear plan for future streets line.
