Bottom 2 pair OOP BvB

Blinds: $0.50/$1.00 (6 Players) CO: $510.25
BN: $122.64
SB: $334.35 (Hero)
BB: $146.52
UTG: $100.00
MP: $180.38
Preflop ($1.50) Hero is SB with K K 6 8
3 folds, Hero raises to $3.00, BB calls $2.00
Villain is playing 42/21/8 over 300 hands
Flop ($6.00) A 6 8
Hero bets $5.00, BB calls $5.00
Turn ($16.00) A 6 8 4
Hero checks, BB bets $11.20, Hero calls $11.20
I'm not sure what the best line is here...it is very hard for my hand to improve, but I have good odds to check-call. Betting could be good (guess I would have to shut down on most rivers)
River ($38.40) A 6 8 4 T
Hero checks, BB bets $23.00, Hero folds
I hate getting owned, but I guess that is the peril of playing out of position!
Final Pot BB wins $36.50
Rake is $1.90

Just wondering if anyone can suggest a better line for this hand, and the reasons for it. Is there any rivers that people check-call ?

Preflop and flop are standard. Flop is easy bet. On the turn however, you need to c/f in my opinion. Many players will float wide, but they won't necessarily do it completely randomly. There's some chance you still have the best hand, but you have no way to improve and no way to get your hand to a showdown profitably. So you need to fold.
