Default HU beginner gets involved in a 4-bet pot NLCASH

This might be a really easy decision but I'm relatively new to HU so I have no clue.
My opponent seems like a good HU regular, he was owning me so far but we're even now since I stacked him w/ AA vs KJ in a 3-bet pot, flop Kxx. He 3-bets me quite a bit, I'd say 20% of my raises. This is the first time ever I 4-bet him. River is a call or fold ?

Chili Poker 1.00/2.00, hand converted by the iPoker Converter at Talking-Poker

SB Hero ($619.40)
BB ($379.20)

Preflop: Hero is in the SB with J T
Hero raises to 5.00, BB raises to 16.00, Hero raises to 52.00, BB calls 40.00.

Flop (116.00) A A 7
BB checks, Hero checks.

Turn (116.00) T
BB checks, Hero checks.

River (116.00) 2
BB bets 60.00,

What are you doing preflop? Just call his raise preflop. I call this river. Yu catch a lot of bluffs here. Plus, it is only half of a pot.

i think this is very read dependent

how does he usually behave on the river?
how does he usually behave in big pots?
what's your image? have you been pushed off hands recently?

I tend to call, but I don't like it. lol

You are getting 3 to 1, you have to call.

Why ? Are you 4-betting HU only for value ?

well, ideally no, but being new to HU and playing 1/2 at iPoker you wouldnt make much of a mistake sticking to ABC lines pf.

You dont really have to "throw off" people at 1/2 to show a very healthy profit playing HU cash.

Yeah day after day I'm realizing that 4-betting light on ipoker 1/2 sucks.
So, you guys call but we should fold, that's it ?
FWIW I called and he showed A8.

You catch a lot of bluffs here. With a pot sized bet, I gear more towards folding, but with a half pot, I call everytime. It is very close though. I call even pot sized bet, but this is probably a mistake.

bet the turn since you checked, but as played, I probably just fold the river, really read dependent.
