Not a great fan of calling here. If SB folds I’m calling 50% of times and 3-betting the other 50%.
On the flop it’s fine to be calling.
Turn okay. But we own some hands that could be betting for protection, such as A8, A3, J8, J3, maybe AJ.
On the river we have even more hands that could be betting and as long as we checked-called previously, villain won’t give to much credit to our bet. Here we bet expecting to get calls of weaker aces, Jx, and even 9x that might thing you bet river trying to steal the pot (because villain checked turn).

It worked ok this time, but surely 3bet squeezing would be best here. Actually you would have won more here if you had 3bet
