I opted to limp along here hoping to find a good flop to continue on. From prior hands I felt it would be more profitable to hit something with a drawing hand rather than raise and c-bet into the myriad of callers. Feel free to suggest a raise/fold option if you want.

How do we feel about this river? I am still pretty certain that I have the best hand. But what is the value in betting here? If I put villan all in on the river is he calling with worse hands enough of the time?

VB small, like 1.4. Only 4 hands beat us (Ac, Qc, Jc, 34c). The small bet may entice him to call with a low flush, or maybe even something worse.
