Default Q7o from the big blind hits flop - Am I too aggressive?

Found this hand from about a year ago. I'm still not sure whether I played it right.

I'm in the BB and get dealt Q7o

0.25-0.50 Real calling station table. Suits are irrelevant.
Preflop:
4 people call including button, sb folds I check.

Flop (5.5 sb)
7 8 8 r
I bet my pair of 7's. Two folds, 1 call and the button also calls.

Turn 3 (4.25 bb)
I bet figuring I can't afford to give a free card. 1 fold, button calls.

River Q (6.25 bb)
I bet button raises I call.

My thoughts now are in white below
<font color="white"> I now believe this call is a mistake. The only reason he would raise here is if he just hit the q and probably has a better kicker than me, or already has me beaten with the third 8. I think a c/f is out of the questino so I'm leaning towards either a b/f or a c/c. I can see him calling with more hands than he is betting so a b/f would be best? </font>

your thoughts seemed to be based on villian's river action ...
there is no reason for you to put him on a Q or an 8 ... villian could easily have a pocket pair, that you just pulled ahead of

That river card sucks. Your kicker is counterfeited now. You are losing to trips and Q8+. I can't see not betting this river, but if this is a passive player who is raising, you should probably fold.

Flop: does anyone else like the check-and-see? Q7 may not be good on this flop, betting into four opponents.

Turn: Not wanting to give your opponents I think is good thinking, especially if they might be calling with overs.

River: Folding seems out of the question with two pair on this board. Because the villain is a "calling station," He quite possibly had overs, including a Q. But that doesn't mean he has you out kicked.

Yeah, it makes a big difference if by "calling station" you mean loose passive, and not just loose. If he's passive you probably are in bad shape.

The reason for my hesitation is that too many times at this level (over 90%) I see people raising because their hand is great. Basically the raise to me indicates strength. I guess he might of had 9's or 10's.

So the recommendatino is bet/call on the river?

How about the rest of the hand.
