Poker Stars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Poker Stars Converter Tool from http://www.flopturnriver.com

Button ($13.01)
SB ($13.59)
BB ($16.21)
Hero (UTG) ($12.37)
MP ($9.90)
CO ($16.63)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 8♦, A♦
Hero raises $0.30, 4 folds, BB calls $0.20

Flop: ($0.65) A♥, Q♥, 5♦ (2 players)
BB bets $0.60, Hero calls $0.60

Turn: ($1.85) 4♦ (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

River: ($1.85) A♠ (2 players)
BB bets $0.90, Hero calls $0.90

Total pot: $3.65

FLOP: TP + backdoor FD = standard call.

OTT: I'd still call a bet. When she doesn't bet, checking back is better because I get a free card and don't pay off to her better Ax hands (if she mistakenly check that)

OTR: I'd call most rivers which don't bring draws. I call because it's less likely that villain has an ace as well and most Ax hands x/c OTF.

Nice hand again.
It should be possible to bet turn but checking back is fine too.

You can either bet turn and check behind river unimproved or check behind the turn and call a river bet.

My approach would be to bet less than 1/2 on the turn to get calls from all his weaker holdings like Qx, KK/JJ/TT etc. and check behind river on a blank.

The way you played it - ez river call

When villain donks on flop, it ussually doesnt signal strength, so I would bet around 35-45% of the pot OTT and I would call check/shove and would shove on raise.
By betting OTT you extract value by worse hands and even if you are behind, you have plenty of outs to improve. I think your hand unless improved by river is a 2 street of value hand.
But as played works fine as well.
