Default Why Does He Call? (HU SNG)

Background: This guy NEVER raises preflop in position or out of position, he never CALLS a raise in position or out of position unless he has a very strong hand, and then he will shove all in. On every flop, he will 3/4 bet, if you call and he had AIR, he will continue to check turn and river allowing you free cards. If you reraise him on the flop, he usually completes on drawing hands, reraises you with ANY pairs. This guy was a total joke, but some how I kept missing my huge draws and fell behind, until this hand below in which he made some strange call. For a brief moment I thought he was slowrolling me, but when he called, I was amazed to see what he had.

What could make such a player call this? Would you ever call if your opponent played like I did. I have been folding to a lot of his raises on the flop if I miss, I dont want to get into a bluffing game with this guy, because he seems like a robot, lol. I eventually beat him.
