BB is playing 39/9 over 50 hands. No particular reads other than he seems weak tight on the flop. He thought for a while on the river before his bet.

$0.50/$1 No Limit Holdem
4 Players

Stacks:
CO ($70.55)
Hero (BTN) ($92.50)
SB ($59)
BB ($82.40)

Pre-Flop: ($1.50, 4 players) Hero is BTN J Q
1 fold, Hero raises to $3, 1 fold, BB calls $3

Flop: 9 10 4 ($6.50, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $4.25, BB calls $4.25

Turn: 10 ($15, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

River: 9 ($15, 2 players)
BB bets $8.50

Standard call given his range?

Not really, he can have loads of 9x, Tx,KJ,KQ,Axcc etc when all you are hoping for is that he has some low pp which he should probably have folded on the flop anyway.

My thinking is that there are a lot of busted draws and low pocket pairs in his range that will bet this river. I feel that A high and K high will usually check this on the river given their decent showdown value. Which leaves fullhouses in his value range - the bet size doesn't scream "Fullhouse" at me and the price seems fairly attractive...
