I know my RR should have been more, but anyway onto the hand...

Only been at the table a few hands, but Villain(s) appeared slightly loose but hadn't seen them do a great deal.

I figured his minraise was either a weak attempt to steal or he wanted to sweeten the pot with a monster hand, so I re-raised for info (should of bet more in retrospect). His check behind me on the turn really convinced me that he didn't have much of a hand; if he had turned a full house I figured he would of bet it. The river only completed straits for 35 and 68 and I really didn't put him on either of those hands after my PFR, so his river bet really looked like a bluff.
