I'm thinking the river bet was ok here, but should have folded to the raise. Agree/Disagree?

You have to 3bet this preflop, and that will significantly change the way the hand plays.

On the flop, you've got to decide if there's a good chance you have the best hand right then, because there's no way you have odds to call. I might donkbet the flop (given your preflop call) and fold to a raise. If he just calls, bet/fold the turn.

you really need to be 3betting preflop and lead the flop

Fold on the river against someone you don't perceive as a moron.

I wouldn't bet the river. The only worse hands that will call you are smaller pocket pairs, and it's very unlikely that he will fold a better hand after you checked the turn. Further more, a check might induce a bluff from smaller pocket pairs or hands like KQ, KT. Therefore, I would prefer check/call on the river.

I also agree that you should 3-bet preflop and fold or raise the flop.

I would 3 bet pf and lead the flop.

I don't think you played this aggressively enough.

Preflop I'd 3-bet.
Consider leading the flop or check-raising.

Calling the river raise seems okay, CO is bluffing or has a worse hand enough of the time.
