I've never played with him, so this is just generic advice. There's a ton of interesting stuff in this hand, but I think it boils down to his turn bet size. That microscopic bet in position, given the board texture (which hit his LP limp/calling range very hard yet he has made no effort to get any money in the pot) and preflop action, has to be one of two things: (1) a bet designed to get a cheap showdown; or (2) a bet to set up a bluff shove on the river (at that point, given his possible view that you don't have as many chips behind as you actually do, he would probably expect you to shove most or all hands that you are willing to go broke with). The fact that he shoved the river on a total brick rules out option (1), which just leaves option (2). Combined with your read that he doesn't have a big hand, I think I like a call. And I guess you know you've made it when a good player like charder wants to fold because your line makes no sense.
