Villain has only been at table about 8 hands, limp/called once preflop and then folded on the flop. Is this a good line to gain value or I should I be betting the turn?

Your line is good, though I think river is a good spot to make a small blocking bet of 400-500. Judging by the pot sized bet on turn, I guess 7+high kicker or two pair is more likely than a straight. He's almost compelled to call with the counterfeited two pair, and you can safely fold to an all-in. Sure, checking creates an opportunity for him to bluff, but that's less likely since he just might have pulled a bluff on the turn.

I too like your line. I check/call the river. A blocking bet seems ok. NH.
