Default Good bluff inducing?

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, BB calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls.

Turn: (3.25 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks.

River: (3.25 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 5.25 BB

I thought villain was unlikely to call a turn bet without an ace (since he'd have to call a river bet too) and if he did have an ace I would expose myself to a check-raise that could be a bluff. However I thought it would be likely villain would try for a bluff if I checked here. How's my line?

Can you explain why called on the river instead of raising?

Because he's probably not calling my raise with anything I beat

What about a flush draw, a broadway draw, or a Q?

The amount of times that someone will check-raise this turn on a bluff is very, very small. I don't think I'd really worry about it, especially at 2/4. If you had some read on the villain that he liked to bluff a lot, it still wouldn't matter because you'd be comfortable calling down.

I'd bet the turn and maybe bet the river. I think you miss some value from Q's, pairs, and draws like this because you're afraid of a check-raise bluff which happens almost never.

I don't think there are many hands villain is calling the flop with but folding on the turn.

Also the pot is plenty small enough that you can easily fold to a c/r.
