SB: $10 (100 bb)
BB: $11.07 (110.7 bb)
UTG: $37.57 (375.7 bb)
MP: $13.19 (131.9 bb)
Hero (CO): $10 (100 bb)
BTN: $13.17 (131.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A K
UTG raises to $0.20, MP folds, Hero raises to $0.60, 2 folds, BB raises to $2.10, UTG folds, Hero calls $1.50

Flop: ($4.45) 6 K J (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($4.45) 3 (2 players)
BB bets $2.12, Hero calls $2.12

River: ($8.69) 4 (2 players)
BB bets $6.85 and is all-in, Hero calls $5.78 and is all-in

Preflop: Sometimes I call and sometimes 3bet this, but vs a minraise and a guy playing 100/100 in 2 hands decided to 3bet. The 19/8 (39 hands) BB made a cold 4bet then. I believe that folding would not be a mistake, but I decided to call. I believe that with 5betting will isolate vs KK+ exclusively. The plan was to continue postflop only if I hit TP and there is still a chance that he checks.

Flop: Hit my TP and he checked. The flop is not that dangerous imo because only Q or T would be bad on the turn, so I decided to check back to control the size of the pot and get more value vs QQ or random on later streets. I believe that betting to something like $2 and folding to raise would not be a mistake.

Turn: He decided to make a delayed cbet and considering how I've played the flop, calling there is standard, imo.

River: It's close, I believe, but I can't really fold now.

If you are going to fold this hand preflop, what hands will you defend with?

I know what you mean, but vs someone who plays 19/8 I don't really expect to cold 4bet anything else than KK+.

Yeah I don't think continuing with KK+ is unreasonable in that spot.

Think I fold to the river bet. Tough to put him on a bluff or a worse value hand. I expect to see AA a lot, or we chop.

I think you played it well. River call is close. Villain opens tight but I think it is not a mistake to 5bet shove AKs. At least I wouldn't fold it pre.

19/8 for 39 hands... come on. You have to defend with AKs.

with 39 hands on villain, is there anything wrong with shipping pre?

It's funny, I sort of love our opponents line, if he is bluffing. I don't really see a way out of this one, the chops + pot odds might just keep you in here, not to mention the fact he may be bluffing or even have KQ.

Call down and pray.
