I want to make sure I'm not playing scared here...

The two players in at the river are you're typical loose passive players. In the value betting section of SSHE they talk about considering the number of players in and the number of draws that a scare card completes, this is why I checked behind on the river trying to avoid a check-raise. Thoughts?
