Party 50nl 6 players - call pot sized bet w/tp 8 kicker on river?

It is bad because now hero is playing river guessing games and put himself in a tough spot.

Even worse than the check on the flop was the check on the river.

Actually, the check on the river is fine against an opponent who is likely to bet worse hands than he would call with (almost all non weak-scared opponents after this betting sequence). Assuming that you have no intention of folding, of course.
