Villain is 22/16/11 over 76 and seems tricky


Not sure it's correct, but here's my thinking:

I check behind on the flop because it hits a lot of calling hands plus villain is aggressive and tricky and I don't want to have to fold to a c/r with two overs and a gutshot.

The turn card is scary but there is a decent chance I have the best hand and his bet is small. I think raising has little value so I just call.

I was expecting to be forced to a decision on the river and am surprised he just checks. Would you now normally bet for value here?
