GRUNCH:

Generally in a blind defense hand, I like to raise a pair when I get one. Usually the flop since it's good and cheap. If 3-bet, I know I'm probably in trouble. If villain is position aware, his raising range is much wider than it otherwise would be, thus does not necessarily include an A or better K.

Hero is playing this like a WA/WB, except he missed the river donk. I would probably play it this way against a villain who isn't position aware or rarely steals. His range is much more likely to include the A, but also might be big pockets.
