I like the river raise but I really hate folding to a LAG for just one more bet. Isn't an AF of 1.75 and a VPIP of 55 pretty LAGgy? It's hard for him to have a worse hand but I don't think its outside the realm of possibility considering his PFR range.

Raising and folding to a 3-bet is the best play here. You make it pretty obvious you hold an ace. Villian will not attempt to bluff 3-bet this river with a worse hand because he knows you won't fold TP, so you are protected against a bluff. This means only a better hand will 3-bet you so it is safe to release.

I would call a 3 bet. He might think his worse ace got there.

I dislike the river raise in general. But depending on the degree of laggyness it can be okay.
