This could matter : I sat down about 3-4 orbits ago, tripled up, and have only shown down winning hands iirc.

I thought a bit on the turn before making that bet, the plan was to leave me with a PSB on the river.

Do I lose too much value playing it that fast ? Any other way to get stacks in at some point ?

I think you played it really well. On the river I would bet whatever I though a jack would pay off. Maybe $20?

I'd bet 25-30 on the river, 50 seemed steep. Will villain call a 50 bet 1/2 the time he calls a 25? given the play up till then i'd think a 50 bet would be less than half as likely to be paid off.
