I played a hand very similar to this and almost exact same betting structure, except I bet the turn and slowed down when the river flush hit and called a river bet and he flipped up some air crap, I had like JT and he had like A8 or something.

Regardless, I had a read that he was very passive and loose. I think I would bet the river and see what he does then. However, I think your play given your relativity short stack was a little bit too light and probably should have been more aggressive to try and weazel out whatever the CO may hold.

I almost always fold that river bet, but there's a good possibility that I don't make your turn bet, which makes the river harder to play. The flush hit, a K might be slow-playing, and you didn't have a great hand to start with. I wouldn't pay off a PSbet.

Ehh I just check this turn sometimes, you can bet the river if its a blank.

I play it the same, usually. Sometimes I fold river.
Depends on who the oppo is.

I fold the riv but like the turn bet. You're ahead of like nothing. QT does not bet riv...
