[LOW] $2/$5 Bomb Pot

So playing at a new spot while traveling. Table has been doing bomb pots for pretty much any reason though for some reason just single board NLHE instead of double board PLO.

I'm relatively new to the table so no definitive reads on villain. After this hand, I gathered he considers himself better than the table/quasi pro mentality but he pulled a few very questionable moves so could just be in his head.

$2/$5 NL 8 handed.

Hero in HJ has Ac 9c. Effective stack is $1,500.

Preflop: $25 bomb pot so $200 to the flop.

($200) Flop: 9h 8c 5h

Checks to V1 in LJ who bets $65. Hero calls. Everyone else folds.

($330) Turn: As

V1 bets $250. Hero calls.

($880) River: 7h

V1 jams for $1,160. Hero?

Given the bomb pot I didn't want to raise turn against an unknown hand and bloat the pot. He's clearly showing strength but this river should be better for me than him. I doubt he's worried about a better straight if he did have a hand like 67 and maybe he thinks I'd have raised nut flush draw/combo draw on the flop?
