Re: Lets forget preflop for now...
The river card shows why you should have raised the turn. You are probably ahead but you can be outdrawn. The turn raise looks as a slowplayed ace.
You also have no guarantee that he will bet the river without an ace. It is very unlikely he will. You will rarely make another 1BB on the river. He will either check-fold the river or outdraw you. However he will payoff the turn raise with a flush draw or a gutshot (KQ etc).
Generally I see this sort of advice repeated all the time:
"Call and let the opponent keep firing b/c if you raise you will make a worse hand fold". Sometimes this is a great line and a lot of times it is just an excuse to play weak-tight passive. (Something like the infamous WA/WB line: "I'm too scared to raise. I'll use the WA/WB line and call down")
