Need help on this one. First I think I made a mistake by not cbetting the flop.. My hand was more vulnerable than I thought with a bad kicker, but I checked because I also had the back door draw.
It's kind of standard to check-call that flop with any ace worse than AT.
By the river you only beat a bluff, but villain can have a few, like JTs and clubs. It's kind of a sigh-call. You can fold if you have reads. (i.e. if villain has shown himself to be extremely value-heavy when he bets). You chop with quite a few Axs, but 99, AQ, A9s, A6s and AK are all decent possibilities for villain.

Would that be a value-raise or a bluff?
I'd be much more polarized if I'm x-jamming the turn, like AA/QQ for fat value, JTcc/hh as a semi-bluff. Top pair + NFD is a good hand to check-call with.
