and as for how i would have played it. i raise PF, and CB the flop. given the hand, i fold the turn. ... but nh anyway. im guessin u folded in the real hand?

I didn't feel my hand was strong enough heads-up to warrant the raise, plus it disguises that I have the Ace in my hand, so depending on what flops, I might get paid off more than if I had raised (i.e. Villian doesn't believe I have the suited A/2 or whatever)

I did not fold, I raised the river, and Villian folded. I figured by his flop check and then turn bet on a card that only really produced potential draws that never hit on the river, that I could get him to fold a better hand than my pair of 7's, and he might not have even had that beat for all I know. So I took it down with the river raise.

Folding the turn is probably the correct play most of the time, given there are two flush draws I don't have a piece of and all I really have is a hopeful low draw with one card to come.
