the line is good.

you want him to call if he has overcards. you want him to call even more with his overcards if he will call the river unimproved.

You have been given tremendous information that he does not have overcards. So while you may gain some when you take this line and he has them (a fraction of a bet), you lose much more when you take this line and he does not (nearly a full bet). Since his AF is SO LOW, his flop bet already tells you that he does not have overcards very often. Therefore, betting and folding is worse than checking and folding.

Naturally, if he checks behind on the turn, you put him on overcards and bet most rivers.

my 2 cents.
