Villain who I play the rest of the hand with is a nit with VP of 11 and PFR of 0 although only out of 15 hands so not much of a read.

Second villain who folded on the flop is loose with VPIP of 55, PFR of 0 out of 11 hands.

I know that you should pretty much never bluff in the micros but I felt that this river bluff could have worked.

The flop comes low so i cbet for information. I dont think flop hit the first tight villain but the second villain could have connected with the board as there is a flush draw and possible straight with 67 which could be in loose villain's range. If I am reraised, I would probably fold. Tight villain calls and loose villain folds.

Since tight villain called, I put him on Ace with decent but not great kicker, maybe A5, or a medium pocket pair because he didnt reraise me. On the turn, I bet bigger to represent a made straight but villain called the turn as well.

The river completed a straight which I thought was the best hand. Since it was a straight on the bottom end, villain would usually be splitting the pot unless he had the 7 for the 7 high straight. I could already be beat here since A7 and 77 could be in his range but since I bet the turn strongly, villain could think I have a made straight which is why I make a big bet on the river to win the pot, thinking that villain would not call for a split pot. Was this the right move and thought process?

C-bet for value, not information. Bet again on the turn because it's very drawy (two flush draws) and I probably bet the river too to try and get him off a chop.

I bet flop much bigger. Any Ax is probably calling along with other straight draws weaker pairs, overcards, flush draws and a bazillion other hands.

Tight villain called the turn and a bad card rolled off. Time to slow down, I don't believe there is enough value here. Your basically hoping 88 and 99 call.
Tight villains wont have many flush draws in the blinds, we don't have much of a read but even if he does have a few flush draws they'll be good ones that have overcards as well for a whopping 15outs. Meanwhile 22-77 and JJ beat us.

I check turn. As played I check the river.

What you did seems fine to me. I like the bet on the river. Checking the river would be fine too. I might have bet a little more on the flop, like pot sized. Just because I think he has a lot of hands like AJ, AQ, KQ, KJ, KT, QT, QJ, and JT.

I bet the turn for value small, and check back the river. At these stakes, I don't think anyone is folding. Course, if there are players like Tyler out there, maybe we can push him off a chop more often than we think!

Check the river back. There are plenty of better spots to push people off chops but the board is pretty far from the nuts here.
