Let the lag bet the hand for you, not neccesarily standard but a very reasonable line I think against LAGs.

maybe i'm crazy, but why did you not bet out on the turn again? Folding to a raise is easy, and if he has some new gutshot that he picked up on the turn then you don't want him to have a free card.

I'd bet the turn (and fold to a raise), then check-fold the river. If he doesn't have the ace, then he is even more scared by it than you are. I think a turn call, or any aggression, from your opponent says you're behind on this one. Especially since there are zero draws on this board.

This is another one of those hands where you got to stay in lead (keep betting) or check/fold. I'd keep beating until you get resistance. Then I'd fold.
