Villain is a nitty 14/12/3 after 77 hands.

Poker Stars $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em - 5 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter By DeucesCracked Poker Videos

BTN: $9.69
SB: $11.80
Hero (BB): $10.98
UTG: $9.13
CO: $11.04

Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is BB with A

3 folds, SB raises to $0.40, Hero calls $0.30

Flop: ($0.80) J

(2 players)
SB bets $0.50, Hero calls $0.50

Turn: ($1.80) K

(2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

River: ($1.80) 4

(2 players)
SB bets $1.50

Easy fold? I'm ahead of A2, AQ, KJ, and I lose to AJ, AK, QT, flush, but villain likely barrels the turn with two pair (A2, AJ, AK) or a straight (QT). Nitty villain probably doesn't barrel with a turned flush draw, but do I fold two-pair here to a possible runner-runner flush?

I agree that you're probably not good a huge % of the time but I call this anyways because of how underrep'd your hand is. From the SB he could be raising a ton more Ax/Kx combos. Not betting a made hand on that turn on that board would be pretty silly of him given the many scare cards that could come for AK/AJ/KJ/22 etc. You should probably be betting the turn yourself here for the same reason. You have a hand that's vulnerable but might be best. You went the pot control route, improved on the river, now call.

Depends what you think about villain! If we have the opinion that villain is a bad player we would be more inclined to call but if villain for some reasons(good calls,good betsizing seems to be a competent foe we should fold!
