100NL Value raise river in 3bet pot?

Blinds: $0.50/$1.00 (6 Players) MP: $108.15
CO: $102.00 (Hero)
BN: $100.00
SB: $43.80
BB: $134.80
UTG: $183.10
Few stats on villain, which definitely influenced my decision making in this hand.
Only 166 hands so far, but he was playing 24/21/15.1 with a 21.7% 3bet in the BB from 23 opportunities.
Preflop ($1.50) Hero is CO with 8 7
2 folds, Hero raises to $3.00, 2 folds, BB raises to $9.50, Hero calls $6.50
Standard open in the CO. I wouldn't always call this hand but think its OK vs someone who seems to have a fairly wide 3b range in the BB. Do people think im putting too much weight on what is a fairly small sample size?
Flop ($19.50) A 8 Q
BB checks, Hero checks
Good flop. I elect to check back because i think it's a nice way to keep flushes in my check back range, and i don't really think betting achieves much. I can still get a lot of money in when i make a flush by betting big twice.
Turn ($19.50) A 8 Q 4
BB bets $13.05, Hero calls $13.05
Good turn obviously. Not sure if raising or calling is better. My hand is vulnerable to river hearts, but i generally like to save my raises till the river if possible. So if i had a hand like KhJx id just be calling turn and most likely bluff-jamming river.
River ($45.60) A 8 Q 4 4
BB bets $15.00, Hero raises to $79.45 and is all in, BB calls $64.45
Interesting river, and interesting betsize. I had no idea whether to call or raise, and if i raise what sizing should i go to? Against a regular sized bet i'd just be calling, but it felt like i only making 3rd pot on this river with this hand is a big mistake. He won't expect me to have a flush or boat very often, and i think jamming make me look really full of shit. I also chose to raise due to his wide pre-flop 3bet which meant he had more Ax hands here than most. I expect QQ to cbet and AA to cbet at least some of the time. A4 is a possibility, but not many combos of that, and then he can have some better flushes, but not that many given that the A and Q of hearts are on the board.

Is this too thin? Would you prefer a small-raise and fold to a shove or just a call?
