flop: i didnt know how to react to my opponent's raise.
This could be FD, SD, or of course top pair,better kicker. should i just fold for the latest reason?
river: looking at this river now makes me ashamed of myself-busted draws wont call me of course, and i represent nothing with 2 on the board... c/c?

Co looks like a lunatic post flop 54VPIP/2.3AF is REALLY aggressive.

On the flop I would actually contemplate check/raising, I don't think someone this aggressive is going to be able to stop himself betting in this position. HU we have tons of value with top pair, kicker or no kicker.

Once he checks back the turn, yeah sometimes he has a T but a lot of the time he has cheese.

As you've alrady mentioned I would actually be tempted here to check the river to him and let him own himself by betting. It's a small pot and if we can get him to bluff at the pot on the river, that's great get's us an extra bet in a small pot

As played his raise on the river once you value bet makes absolutely no sense. Just pay off and see what he's doing. You may have induced a bluff raise which in a pot this small is actually better than a bluff bet.

I think in this spot x/c is just better than b/c.
