Villain is completely unknown, but the action in the hand strongly suggests a fish.

On review, it seems like I should have raised the flop donk, but if I had I actually think there's every chance he'd have folded his worse jacks and middle pairs, since I see a lot of "donking for information" which I think this was. With that in mind, although we maybe miss the chance to build a pot, I don't hate the call.

OTT, although villain (if he's even thinking that much) might now believe it less likely we have a jack, I think the same applies - a raise seems likely to scare off his 2nd best hands.

The river seems like a raise-fold, but I can't see how he gets to the river with J7 (at least not often enough to worry about it), and I can't see how he does this classic small-bet "donking for information" on the other streets if he flops 2-pair and fills up on the turn - the same applies to AJ.

So I want to call the river, because I just think it's so unlikely that we're beat, and he can shove random jack-rag here feeling like he's slowplayed a monster.

On the flip side, someone this passive doesn't shove without a big hand, or at least something that _they_ think is a big hand.
