Could I have of got paid more on the river?

Ok this is one of those lucky hands in the BB with no real desire to play this hand from this position but when it limps round to you check and see the flop.

My main question is about the river as the hand played its self out, I put XX on a Q so giving him a FH my thinking was check if he has a Q he will value town me, if he has nowt he will most likely fold to any value bet I make. So he does make the value bet I was expecting and I put in a good reraise, should I have shoved all in knowing there is a good chance he now has the FH getting max payout or was the bet size about right plus a shove may of looked a bit bluffish. Your thoughts please?

    I think you got paid about as much as you could but....

    raise more flop pot it, rest looks like you got good value but dont like checking the river a weak bet would do the same job here, if they've missed completely or got a weak part of it your giving them a chance to see your cards for free!

    doesn't look as though the guy knows how to raise.

    You have to check on the river because they guy just calls your weak bet and you don't win much more anyway. Atleast checking gives him the chance to bet (God knows what the 60p was about), after that I would have probably done a pot size bet.

    Can't see for certain but it looks like he only has another £2 behind too, so you might as well have gone for it.

    With a 4 handed pot and the flush draw was trying to limit the pot at this point as i only had trip 8s, another Q or a spade I could be in trouble..... out of position as well.
