Re: what river line
The first hand seems sort of standard for a blind battle. Most people I'd characterize as aggressive idiots would either raise you again on the turn when they picked up open-ended, or raise you on the river when they hit their 7.
In the hand in question, I'd bet/call the river. I checkraise a lot on the river, but I think he has A8o or 22 or whatever way too often here to check. I don't think you miss any value from bluffs by betting (if he has any sense) either, because on this type of board, I think you'll get bluff raised at least half as often as you'll get bluffed for 1 bet if you if you check since people bet/fold rivers on boards like this quite a bit, but you'll almost never see anyone check/fold.
I'd never ever take a line that involves not seeing a showdown here against a potentially spazzy player.
