Extracting Value..back up to 50NL
My BR was hurting recently from a bunch of tough MTT bustouts in a row, so I went to 25NL to build back up...now I'm back to 50NL.
I've gotten myself into trouble previously by stacking off to superior hands w/ my big hands, while often over or underbetting when I have my opponent.
Advice please!
I feel like I played this one perfectly for value, but I often get advice here I didn't even think of.

I luckboxed this one, but I think I could have extracted much more on the river because of how little strength I showed the whole hand, it might have looked like I was trying to buy the pot. WWYD?

I got scared there was something better...I don't know why. Should I just push here? If I end up being beat, oh well? Or is a push only called by something better here? I couldn't think of anything better at the time, which meant I probably should have re-raised. OTOH, I couldn't really put villain on a hand.
