    Weird hand. I didn't know what to make of the 1/2 pot flop bet, then the 1/3 pot turn bet. Got lucky on the river, obv. Thoughts?

    I may raise that flop bet, I never am too sure what to think of somebody betting into me OOP when Im the PFRer. I really am not sure if thats the "standard" way to play this, but its how I would handle the situation. Reads on your opponent would definitely help.

    I think it's fine if he's a donk, he'll have A4 often enough that you might as well call him down if he's making such weak bets. I'd definitely make a bigger raise on the river though.

    I think this could easily be the line of a scared AJ, I'd raise the flop to 15, it would save you money.

    Well, the six almost certainly didn't help him, so I think I'd raise that weak ass turn bet.

    The problem (as I saw it) w/ raising the turn is if he's the average donk, he's often not getting off his Jx and we're inflating the pot with our underpair, drawing nearly dead. Alternately, if he's taking this strange line w/ 77 or 88 or something equally retarded, we don't want to push him off the turn w/ a huge bet. I don't know, I might be totally thinking about this wrong, though.
