what to do on the river?

shozboy1:
I called turn to consider calling based on size of bet. I didn"t like his near pot bet here

MintTrav:
Raise more pre. He can call $0.75 raise with anything to bust your big pair. Unlikely to be winning now.

shozboy1:
The only reason I raised 2.5x was to keep things in line with my prev 2-3 raises (which were seen by villain, but who knows if he noticed) with small pairs/suited connectors etc. Hoping someone might have repopped me

I"m too curious to know which is why i"d call (see: "Station"). You are probably losing to two pair imo but the two pair was made on the flop or the turn. Don"t think you"re up against a set because he would"ve played it harder on that flop. The pot sized bet could be a value bet but he could also be trying to buy the pot. I"d play it differently in a tournament like has been said but in a cash game I can re-load so I play like a fish. I"d maybe even 3-bet on the turn. Get more info than you do from his river jam I think.

WYoung83:
 Really bad raise pre (too small), with the way the hand is played post flop he is probably sending you to value town knowing that you have AA or KK. i would not be surprised to see either flopped straight/ set or 2 pair.

This is just a typical cash game hand that happens all the time, T the end of the day you only have 1 pair and if you check behind on turn, like you should of done IMO then you can just call his river bet and either pick off a semi bluff of a pair and draw combo or loose a smaller pot for information if he did have you beat (which is very likely)
