Thanks for the replies. He has called down continuation bets from me before with as little as bottom pair ace kicker, but this wasnt a c/bet so i felt my actions should gain more respect.

I actually fired $40 on the river and after letting the clock run right down he folded, but after looking at the hand post play i couldnt really see how he could have a set, or he would have 99% re-raise me on the flop, so im thinking some kind of missed flush or a weak 2 pair that beat me

i came to the same conclusion as the posters here, that a check was probably better, although the bluff may well have won me the hand. i think in the heat of the situation i couldnt properly anayise the various scenarios so betting seemed correct as i had played the hand very strongly up until that point, and although the hand had some showdown value i was essentially playing the blockers from the turn onwards
