Additional reads: My image was very aggro as I'd had a card rush on the table. Villian bluff donked river a couple of hands earlier on an ugly board with an unimproved gutshot in decent sized pot and got called by TPTK.

I felt like river raise was either a weak Qx fearing a turn check raise or some sort of weird tilt bluff. Even so I wasn't sure if I'm ahead even ~8% of the time on the river. Bet/fold river line okay?

I prefer cc on the river.

You may have the best hand but it is still the worst hand in your range. A bet may drive out a small pocket-pair, fearing TT or 99, but with your aggro image this may not work. Check and hope for a bluff with AT.

See Norbert. His turn check may be weak, but which weaker hand should call your river bet? It is pretty clear you would have TT/AK here. As a valuebet it is doubtful and as a bluff it won't work. He will never fold a stronger hand as loose as he is.
