Villain was 40/0/2.5 over 60 hands.
What should I do on the river?

Perhaps a blocking bet, with a fold to a raise. This makes sure you might get value from him when he holds hands like AJ or some other hand with a pair of jacks.

The only thing that concerns me is the AGF of 2.5. I'm not real sure on applying this number to his tendencies but I'm thinking he would only be calling down a draw here. I think he would have raised TP type of hand. The Ac could complete 2 draws but I like the blocking bet as well. If you check he seems aggressive enough to bet just about anything and then what do you call.

I agree with the blocking bet, but couldn't villain also be slow playing a flopped set of 5s or 7s?, especially given his PF limp / call, in which case he would prob come over the top on the river and you would end up folding the winner.

I want to see a showdown here so I would c/c - maybe it's a leak.

I don't like a blocking bet, because I haven't seen one yet that doesn't look exactly like a blocking bet and an observant opponent will know what you are trying to do. Clearly the problem is that every draw got there, but he could also have two pair, KJ or some such.

I like a check/call too.

Which hands limp/call pre-flop that could turn into a flush on the river don't include the Ace of Clubs? Not many i guess. I think you got lucky here and rivered his set or 2-pair.

the problem with a check call is that there arnt that many draws that could have missed to bluff and villain is very unlikely to value bet a jack on this river, I'd make a blocking bet but make it fairly large, say around $2.2, if he raises this then you have a fairly safe fold but you might still get action off hands like JX etc.

I would bet for value and usually call a shove. This could be some weird slowplayed hand or rivered 2pair or whatever.

I don't fold, could lead with 3$ or c/c

Blocking bet is my choice here just to know where I stand if he raises me.
