Range Merging sorta- To thin on the river? (8/16)

I have been at this table for like fifteen minutes. I have been pretty quiet and sucked out on villains set when my two pair boated up on the river. He seems to call a lot preflop, but hasn’t done anything to out of line while at the table. So my read is still kind of unsure on what kind of player he is.

$8/$16
(5 handed)

 Stacks 
Hero ($1840)
BB ($1576)

Preflop: 
3 folds, Hero makes it $48 in SB w/ 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] , BB calls $32.

Flop: ($96) 
6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Hero bets $73, BB calls.

 Turn: ($242) 
5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Hero bets $188, BB calls.

 River: ($618) 
2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero bets $460, (and plans on folding to a shove)

Do you guys like a smaller bet on the river? A check/call?

I've noticed that lately whenever I'm making a debatable bet but I happen to have a medium strength made hand I tell myself it's a merge.
