I would have bet again on the turn.

On the river -- I don't know -- I guess maybe he has an 8 or possibly even 96 or a boat?

I'd probably call anyway, mostly because I'm not sure what Villain made of my turn check-call, and maybe he's the type who thinks that raising a busted draw with a made hand is a good idea. Or maybe he thinks you're making a blocking bet with some marginal made hand like 65 but might pay off his K4o or might fold to his busted draw.

Raise preflop. Flop bet is fine, but turn is weak. There's a lot of draws out there and pairs he could have. Make another 3/4 to PSB and evaluate on the river. The river blocking bet also looks exceptionally weak. Make it $8 and then you should be able to fold to a raise.
