Ugh. Betting the river won't get a fold from a better hand like 2 pair unless you pot it or overbet it and that's an if. Checking the river on the other hand allows him to VB/bluff you all day long. Given how his bet is retarded I'd call once against him and make a note although I think you will be doing exactly that in this spot: paying him off for a note value

I dont lik size of his bet, most of the time it is hand that want to be called so I would fold athough its hard when you check call turn.With turn bet you would have more informations but then you open your self to raise when you have nice hidden back door.

I think river call is very read dependent but I'd lean more towards a call given that he seems like the type of player who is capable of floating this board and hand reading well enough to try and bluff you cheaply on this river.
