I don't raise the flop usually.

I would just call the river. I also would have waited until the river to raise probably.

Why dont you raise the flop here?

Raising the flop is generally bad with overs at this level. It's not like 1/2 where you're guaranteed to see a free river. Many times a wide range of hands from villain will 3-bet the flop, punishing you, and you have no idea where you're at. Just call because it's correct and because you don't make it too expensive to continue.

I think it's really close between calling and raising the river. This feels a lot like it could be A9. It could be 99, a 3, or A3 as well. The turn 3-bet is probably why I lean towards just calling the river, but that may be weak considering the type of player he is. If I were you, on the river I'd use maximum time to recall how he's played other hands and based on specifics of those, I would either call or raise.
