Default A9 for bottom pair HU - how would you play it?

Villain has played 8 of 10 hands that he was dealt in and raises 0.

Would you play it other way? (check turn or may be fold flop?)

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls.

Flop: (5.50 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 calls.

Turn: (4.75 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 calls.

River: (6.75 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Did you have any sense how the villain played post-flop?

You're usually behind here against a straightforward player. I don't mind this line, but without a read on his post-flop play I think calling the flop and folding the turn unimproved is a better line.

I would've checked behind on the turn. Unless he is a habitual bluffer, a donk bet on the flop from the calling station to the preflop raiser usually means that he's got someting. And you only have a bottom pair.

I think I would have bet the river. He mostlikely has something because of his folp bet, but I doubt he has trips because most players would 3-bet with top pair heads up.

This works, but I also saw the turn and river action before I decided whether or not it is the right line.

With a straight forward Loose passive, you are probably better to call the flop and fold the turn UI.
