I think you played this fine. HU a lot of hands that you beat will call you here.

I don't like the river raise. He isn't folding a better hand and Ace high probably isn't calling you... so you are putting him on 44/55/A-paired-x that will payoff?

AK probably isn't calling, but KT and A8 sure are. Raise is good.

people make crazy plays, calls, and raises in hu blind defense scenarios. I've had many solid players call me in spots like this with a big Ace.

I like it.

IMO you'd have to know he'd sometimes be on total air to call a 3-bet. every time I get 3-bet here it's by at least a 9.

I agree with bt that a good player won't call this raise with anything you beat. A donkish not-so-smart player might; but without a read that he's Lagtastic, I'd rather make the safer play. And besides, even donkbats get monster pairs sometimes too.
