I guess, I am betting the river, for value. I don't like it if I get raised, and I probably pay off because he is so aggressive. Did you check, planning on check/call, and hoping that he would take a shot at folding you because of the ace. I think that that line is worse than bet calling, because he is going to have Jacks or Tens here a lot, and he will recognize your check for what it is, and won't bet those hands, but will bet an ace if he has it. If he has AK, he probably won't raise you on the river, because of the possibility of reverse domination.

Don't forget that the flush card is as much a scare card to the opponent and we can bet a little more often without fear of an ace raising. The opponent won't often have a flush here, because the A of trump falls on the river, meaning if he has an ace it was unsuited, and he is a little more apt to play a pair like this than a medium to low ace.

I was going to say I like everything but the flop cap, but I think Bob and Slavic make very good points about the river line.
