He was pretty aggressive, and his failure to bet out or check-raise the turn really gave his hand away. It's rare to find a player who will check-call the turn in hopes of setting up a check-raise on the river, especially after the flop goes check-check.

I snapcalled. Before I bet the river, I had already decided I would call a check-raise because my read was that this was exactly the kind of opponent who might try it.
Fortunately for me, his line didn't make much sense.

NH Sir!!
Nicely read. It's an especially strange move since his hand isn't all that weak, but I suppose he can't expect you to be value betting the river with less, so a check-call on the river would be leaky.
I guess a line like his is rarely planned out, right? He must just get to the river and think that a river check-raise looks super strong and can fold out a weak A. I must admit that I can fall prey to this exact line of thought.
WP!!! A key part of your bet or check decision is def whether you're planning to call a shove or not, so well done thinking ahead and making the correct move.
ummmmm you only have two cards, not four...
Don't tell me you needed a "break"...?
I'm still playing more hold'em than PLO. I'm learning PLO, but I need to also play hold'em to keep my winnings up.
