I think it's fine. I play it about the same. At best, the river is some kind of absurd suicide bluff, and you're not getting paid off. Raising seems to accomplish absolutely nothing.
Opening the door to let wheel/seven-high 3-bet is not a good idea.

There is precisely one holding that 3/4's you. why not raise the river.

it is hi-lo. converter left that part out.
maybe i'm being influenced by a full ring mentality, where the trey on the end making the 4 +any low card wheel is especially bad for me.
there may be only 1 hand that 3quarters me, but there are a bunch of ways we're chopping the pot. for me to come out ahead, villain has to not have a 4 + (6 or less) combo.
so here, we pretty much have to decide if has a 4, right? my reasoning was with all the action after the flop, the chances he has a 4 and some low cards increases. and what does he lead the river with where he expects it to be profitable? if i'm expecting an even chop, i don't want to keep putting bets in right? plus now there's a small but important chance i might get quartered.
am i just playing scared? maybe i'm giving him too much credit for a heads up situation.
