I would check behind on the river. The river card isn't the best and the number of payoff hands are low. You will oftentimes be up against something like T8 or J8 as well.

Re: Playing hands like this confuse me. What was best here?
There is a well-known principle that you ignored.
Bet your very strong hands on the river for value. Bet the very weak ones on a bluff if you think it has a reasonable chance to win it by folding better hands. But, just check your medium strength hands. There is no reasonable hand he could have that is beating yours, but he would fold to a bet. In this case, your bet will make busted flush draws fold, but you were beating them anyway. But, you will get called by anything that beats you, and really nothing else. |

I play the same way, except I check behind on the river and watch opp turn over the straight he valuebet on the flop and hit on the river.
