0.1/0.2 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Elephant 0.90 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is CO with A♦, A♣
3 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, Hero raises, BU 3-bets, 3 folds, Hero caps, BU calls.

Flop: (10.50 SB) J♥, 6♣, 2♠ (2 players)
Hero bets, BU raises, Hero 3-bets, BU caps, Hero calls.

Turn: (9.25 BB) 3♣ (2 players)
Hero bets, BU calls.

River: (11.25 BB) J♦ (2 players)
Hero checks, BU checks.

Final Pot: 11.25 BB

Results follow (highlight to see):
Hero shows two-pair, aces and jacks (Ad Ac)
BU shows (Kd Kc)

Hero wins with two-pair, aces and jacks (Ad Ac)

In this case should I bet for value on the river or check/call as I did in case he had a jack or to induce a bluff?

Definitely bet the river - he cools down on the turn, so I think he's either got QQ or KK (maybe even 99 or TT). I think that if you bet the River you might even have got him to fold. (He could think that you got lucky with your JJ - so expect a "lucky fish" comment in the chat)

(Edit: sorry, I just saw the result now... not a bad guess from me - now why can't I do this at the tables???)

i bet the river as well and call a raise. of course he might have a J but a smaller pair is quite likely imo and the pot is way to big to fold.
the flop 3-bet is standard and after his cap i think i like a turn donk. you don´t want to get 3-bet on the turn so bet/calldown looks nice to me
