In LLSNL, if you instamuck every time a villain raises the river or c/r the river, you will save a lot of money. Don't even try to make sense of their line. This is why b/f'ing the river is so profitable at this level. V's aren't raising you without a better hand.
If you you're playing online or higher stakes live, then bluff-raises actually do come into play. You know the only people who will bluff raise you in $1/2 on the river. They're the crazy LAG guys who get off on bluffing people.
No passive player is ever raising the river in $1/2 without a better hand. I think there's several good ways to play this particular hand, but generally speaking, fold to ALL river aggressive with one pair hands. Don't even think about it. It should be like a Pavlovian response. "Oh, V showed aggression on the river? I fold". Don't try to figure out if he's bluffing. Don't try to figure out his line. Just fold.
