Besides pre-flop, it's good. I don't even raise with JA, you want to see flops with those hands. Others will disagree, but I am a steady winner, not a streaky one.

If youa re not raising AJ pre then youa re missing out calue and are a small winner and not a big one

hand is too difficult ): very tough spot

His river bet REALLY doesnt seem like a bluff to me so id fold ):

I get confused when they bet small. I'm getting like 4:1 on the river, but his betting pattern is bizarre.

The odds are good enough to call here.
His betting pattern is so bizarre cause he's an idiot, thats the only reason.
Try to pay attention to his betting on other hands, try to get a read with that, make a note, profit.

It's a flush draw often enough or a worse Ace or junk. Once you call flop and turn, you have to call all non-heart rivers when he bets this size.

It either looks like a missed draw but would he c/r flop HU with flush draw or he has two pair which has you beat.

Its just from my experience when they they bet really small on turn and than bet bigger on river like that they want you to call and have you beat

No, the money is won (mainly) after the flop. Why raise with a hand that 1:2 times won't even pair? I raise with AQ and AK and 1010+, but anything else I want to play I call with. You may disagree but let me see a graph. Probably lots of spikes in different directions. You play tight and you will experience less variance which is what I am aiming for.
