I was playing some one on one cash game and decided to make a play that extracted the most possible value and was wondering if I should continue doing this?
Hero is BB with Ah 3h (202)
SB (198)
SB calls 1, Hero checks
FLOP (4): 4h Th Ks
Hero checks, SB bets 4, Hero raise 12, SB calls
TURN (28): 2c
Hero checks, SB bets 15, Hero calls
RIVER (58): 7h
Hero checks, SB bets 40, Hero raise 169 (all in), SB calls
I know I got lucky on the river and I was playing against a postflop LAG (he never bet preflop). Was the check raise on flop good or should I just call? How risky is a rivercheck? I think this is one of the few times I have ever checked the nuts on the river.

Should you continue to play similiar hands this way? NO, you got lucky and caught the nuts on the river, won't happen all the time.

FWIW, I like the river check the way the hand played out. Although after you checkraise all in (with the checkraise on the flop and check call on the river) it looks like your hit your flush, so I'm curious what he called you down with.

Nevermind your cards, What do you think he has here on the turn?

I put him on bottom pair or some trash like that and figured I wouldn't get called if I bet the river. Guess I was wrong, he showed K4 and had two pair. I forgot to mention I often bluff checkraise the flop since a single bet never seems to have any fold equity against this type of player and he might have put me on air.

This hand being HU - I think it has a lot to do with the dynamic of the game whether or not it was correct the way you played it.
I would consider raising very wide when the button limps. As soon as he starts limp/raising or limp/calling a lot, cut it down.
If you can put him on bottom pair on the river, than the check-raise on the flop was terrible. If he calls you down with a pair of 4's here, then you do not want to bloat the pot without a made hand.
I think betting out on the flop is almost always the right play here. You won't get better hands to fold, but I think it's fine as kind of value/protection/blocking bet, assuming that his range is pretty random here.
