10nl line check - too aggressive vs. relative unknown?

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (6 Players) BB: $14.24 (Hero)
UTG: $10.04
MP: $9.90
CO: $10.75
BN: $2.43
SB: $7.70
All i knew was villain was 40/40 over 11 hands.
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is BB with 7 8
2 folds, CO raises to $0.30, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.20
Flop ($0.65) 7 K 4
Hero checks, CO bets $0.47, Hero calls $0.47
Turn ($1.59) 7 K 4 8
Hero checks, CO bets $1.14, Hero raises to $3.38, CO calls $2.24
River ($8.35) 7 K 4 8 J
Hero bets $7.94

So I felt pretty happy with this line in game, but wanted to check what you guys thought. I feel relatively confident that the population would call down any Kx here and that I didn't have a lot to worry about except T9 and maybe 56s? Would bet/folding smaller on the river make more sense here given the straight completes?

I think the preflop call is a bit marginal, but probably good on NL10 and considering that the blinds seem like weaker players. EDIT: Sorry, just realized I misread preflop, nevermind that comment.

I dont mind flop and turn. On river, can you provide some clarification: I dont think the effective bet is 7,94 because villains stack size is already smaller than that, correct? Its more like ~6$ if I oversee it correctly? In that case I think its fine and indeed there is value to be gained from AK, KQ, AA. I dont have much experience anymore on NL10, but I would think that even at those stakes, people start folding weaker TP combos against a pot size bet, no? So the close the bet size is to the pot, the thinner it gets in my opinion - because villain can also very easily have K7, K8, 77, 88, 44 in their range.

Looks good, probably villian will have hard time with his strategy. His range should be extremely polar with 2 big bets and even AK I would assume betting 2 streets like this less than 50% of the time. If he is going with KJ+ there for value you can capitalize on that by jamming river and make his life hard

Flop and turn are fine for me.

On river:
I would try to get value from AA/Ak/KQ/kT/K9 or maybe QQ by making an half pot bet or less.

Your checkraise on the turn when the range turns our advantage, will probably raise some red flags in villians head and call you there with AA/Ak, 2pair or better. Narrowing the range and EV if get called. (Because we dont have much read on him)

Would be happy to hear your reaction on my opinion.

Yeah that's a fair point. In that sense, do you think it's better check raising smaller and still potting river, just not for stacks? or check raise same size and just bet something like half pot river?
