Big Blind call is OK. Hand is middling and one needs to worry about being dominated. Not good or bad enough for a 3-bet..

Check calling 1/2 pot CB seems standard with TP bad kicker.

1/2 pot turn bet is a slight cause for concern, but Hero has looked weak and his play looks like a pair or a flush draw.

I don't like the river check raise. Are you raising for value? Trying to get better to fold? Trying to bluff a flush? It seems to me any hand that calls the check raise is likely beating Hero. Best to limit variance and call down.

Agree with the person above me. Are you raising the river for value? how many worse hands does villain have for call a check raise vs how many value hands does he have where he can call? I think he has more value hands he can call.
having said that, i think its fine if you have specific reads om the villain and think he will call a check-raise on that spot with a one pair hand.

As i mentioned i played a lot of hands on this table since i sat down. I think my table image is somewhat loose and aggressive so i thought i could get some AJ+ here to call. Its still a lot of combos compared to his flushes that beat me.
I am in no way trying to fold a flush not at this limit.

I don't like the river cr. Against all but the most aggro players, your hand is a good bluff catcher.
