Default NLCASH 0.50/1 - thin value bet?

I'm new to heads-up cash games... should I have bet this river? Presumably checking behind on the turn is correct?

Opponent seems fairly loose and tends to bluff a lot although I haven't seen him on a check-raise bluff. In fact I haven't seen him check-raise at all. Probably because my style has been quite passive to exploit his tendency to try to buy pots.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
2 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
Hero: $104.65
BB: $65.40

Pre-flop: (2 players) Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $3</font>, BB calls.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($6, 2 players)
BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $4</font>, BB calls.

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($14, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

River: 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($14, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks?

Not even remotely thin, bet 11/12 and expect to get called by any 6, 2, 33-55 or ace hi depending on the player, but obv fold to a c/r.

ez bet, esp at .5/1. I probably bet the turn 1/3 to 1/2 of the time. Depends on the opponent.

I'm not really sure what calls, but that's something I've really been focusing on lately... forget about what calls and just realize you have the best hand here a lot, let your opponent decide what his hand's worth.

Lots of hands you beat call. You dont need to go mad and pot it but just pick an amount that a weaker hand will pay off. I promise you ace high from many players pays off an $8 bet here.
