Your line is certainly not representing KK or QQ so raising the river would be spew i think.

I don't know on the river the way you played it makes it hard to know but i guess your hand looks like what it is so i probably call as i think he is bluffing here enough.
I think i probably bet the river for thin value the way it has played

I think i prefer c betting the flop as check calling gets us into tricky spots like this, however this depends on villain. As played I think raising river is pretty bad, calling seems the best option as we are getting >3to1 and he has air here often enough.

shipping would be terrible, AK aint going to fold, so bluffing to fold out better is never going to work. Given the bet is less than half pot I think I call this river.

You only need to be ahead just 1 outta 4 times to make the call.
