Preflop is bad. Fooooold. Postflop is a little hyperaggressive.

Check the turn to keep the pot small since your kicker is only a four. In addition, this will often convince any 7, 3, or pocket pair that they can bet the river for value (call these bets instead of raising them, since you will also get them from TPTK+ hands that were trying for a check-raise on the turn). Other than that, it looks fine.

EDIT: I didn't notice that you were opening the betting preflop. Unless you have a specific reason not to, raise if you are the first to act preflop and have a hand that you have decided to play. As for what AJ said, I wouldn't fold this unless the button is so loose that you are sure you will be out of position postflop. I have no problem calling a single raise in position with this preflop if I have position.

I like the thought process.

Question: where did my opponent go wrong?

Your opponent went wrong by not betting enough on the flop, and possibly by not betting the turn. You went wrong by not using position to your advantage and keeping the pot small with a marginal hand by checking the turn.

villain went wrong in lots of places.

Villain should have rr preflop to .6 cause he will be oop for the rest of the hand.
Flop: villain, should have bet $1. By now you should have folded. Say you call. Say you 3bet the flop, villain either folds or rr all in. IMO.
Turn: Villain should have laid in another, bet for $3. you would need to fold here. You call, and suck out.
River: villain, I guess ck/c, not knowing what to think. Then he will proceed to calling you names like "donkey"
