Hey Folks. WhiskeyJack back here. Finally worked some on my play and i am beating 2NL(Something i was not doing since i used to spew pocket money around, now i started taking things seriously and i'm trying to move up from the bottom!)
Now, onto the question. I'm faced with a very tough spot and had no idea what to do.
Here is the hand :

    Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 9 Players
    Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #37865639

    MP1: $2.38 (119 bb)
    MP2: $2.09 (104.5 bb)
    MP3: $3.91 (195.5 bb)
    CO: $2 (100 bb)
    BTN: $2.35 (117.5 bb)
    Hero (SB): $3.59 (179.5 bb)
    BB: $2 (100 bb)
    UTG+1: $2.03 (101.5 bb)
    UTG+2: $2.40 (120 bb)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with J J
    5 folds, CO raises to $0.06, BTN calls $0.06, Hero raises to $0.30, 2 folds, BTN calls $0.24

    Standard Squeeze here, right?

    Flop: ($0.68) A 2 T (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.26, BTN calls $0.26

    C-Betting here. Is it right or wrong? Checking feels weak, Villian should always bet this board.

    Turn: ($1.20) A (2 players)
    Hero checks, BTN bets $0.58, Hero calls $0.58

    Decided to check-call here. 2nd Ace means Villian is less likely to have one and we can eliminate QQ+; AK from his range since he didn't 4bet PF.

    River: ($2.36) A (2 players)
    Hero checks, BTN checks

    Ka-Boom! We Fill up and i decide to check-shove on the villian since he was the aggressor on the river.

    Spoiler:
    Results: $2.36 pot ($0.08 rake)
    Final Board: A 2 T A A
    BTN showed Q Q and won $2.28 ($1.14 net)
    Hero showed J J and lost (-$1.14 net)

    So, this went ugly. Any ideas how i could've played that better? Thanks in advance.

    No reads?


    If betting flop, I would bet more - 40 cents. C-Bet is fine (no reads)

    Turn -
    Check call is worse option. Your read is V has <QQ. I like betting here again when the A shows up.

    River -
    Check call would be my play here.
