Not sure about my line here. I would often call the river as played but here there were not many draws for him to have missed AND I had the King of hearts AND the Jack hits his range. Folding seems kinda weak though.
Also, anybody raise the turn?

Bet the flop every time, I like around 1000

If he floats, fold to a decent sized turn bet (you were right not to fold to the tiny 25% bet though)

definitely fold on the river as played

Raising the turn seems kind-of unnecessary... at this point we are just trying to see a showdown cheaply. We are never going to fold out a better hand and we pretty much kill value from worse hands. Seems like a "raise to see where we're at" which is never really a good play.

i probably bet out that flop and if he calls i check turn/fold river (venture to guess checking flop/raising turn would put you in same spot). as played i think it's fine.

edit: what he said^^

If I'm raising the turn it's for value, but I think Ax makes up too big a part of his range probably. But with this action I was thinking it's hard for him to give me credit for an Ace so I may get calls from hands like QQ-TT or maybe even something like 89. Also a flush draw may donk like that on the turn.
