With the board being as draw heavy as it is, iŽd bet a bit closer to the pot on the flop and on the turn.

I actually dont mind you checking behind on the river.

hm, i would probably check too, it would suck to get raised.

But I would make a bigger bet on the turn. Something like 12$.

Yes, bet closer to pot on the turn. I can see making the flop bet this size, though, if that would be your c-bet size. You're not c-betting but if your flop bet is totally out of line with what villian sees you betting usually, he might fold immediately.

Check behind on the river is good I think.

turn bet should be bigger, and if its the case that it was bigger, and he still called it, i think a case could be made for valuing the river also. i mean, unless you have a read on this player to know that he chases draws to ridiculous sized bets.

a bigger bet on the turn defines your hand more, as well as his. which helps u make a better read when u go to evaluate river.

I had a problem with the hand converter and had to rewrite the hand a bit. So, the pot sizes are in fact pot + rake. I bet 75% on the flop and around 66% on the turn - not considering the rake.
But yes, even considering what I've just said, the turn bet seems too small.
