Value bet TPTK?

I think value betting is still one of my problems.
Villain is 30/18 over the ~40 hands we've played. I haven't had any confrontations with him before.
Do you value bet the river? How much?

You flopped a board that favors a straight. Yet, the villain is not raising on the turn or on the river. This tells me he doesn't have one, and probably has K with a weak kicker. Bet the river. If you get a huge raise, fold.

Might get a call on a half pot bet i villain holds KQ or KJ - but I don't really see other hands we beat that will call.

Youll see a weak king call enough here to make a VB work, but I am always a fan of a free showdown with a hand Im not sure of. Anyway, I think villian had hearts here and missed, and your hand is good.
