Call the river shove?

Home game, playing 4-handed on this hand. £20NL with 10p/20p blinds - ignore the fact this is low stakes, we're decent enough players but were just having a low stakes friendly game
CO folds
Villian raises to 60p on the button (Villian has been playing quite tight so far)
Hero calls in SB with
BB calls
Pot: £1.80
Flop:
Hero checks
BB checks
Villian bets 60p
Hero calls
BB folds
Pot: £3
Turn:
Hero checks (this was a stupid check)
Villian checks
River:
Hero bets £2
Villain raises to £8 and is all in
Is this an easy pass or should this be a call?

I think i'd be calling, I think 2 pair on the turn is unlikely, Q10 is the only reasonable combo if he's tight... I would also re-pop pre-flop, A 10 is massive 4 handed... Again on the flop i'd be raising rather than calling, mid pair with nut draw against a button continuation bet, the turn check i dont mind actually first to act assuming you think he'll fire again...

I think you played it fine, i would call the river.
I use to raise the flop but i think this is a mistake, as we fold out most worse hands and get called by most better hands. Simply having 2nd pair top kicker is a biggish hand in this spot, we might fold
or something but that is such a small part of villians range.

Why would you be thinking about folding here?
If he's got a house, he's got a house. You can never pass here to one raise.
Would prefer a raise pre and on the flop btw...

The reasons for not raising pre and on the flop is that we're playing quite short handed, I'm trying to keep my game unpredictable. I usually would raise here, but in this instance decided not to.
Villian is quite a straightforward player, but is capable of making bluffs.
In this case though I simply didn't think he was bluffing. He usually bluffs after people check to him, not when they bet into him. Further, not to be big headed, but I was well chipped up at this point and pretty much in command of the game. For him to raise here I decided he had to have a real hand.
So, what does he have that he's shoving on this very scary looking board?
Trips? Possibly, though given four to a flush and a paired board this is a questionable move.
Flush? Possibly, though given he hasn't got the nut flush, and the board is paired this is a questionable move.
FH+? Likely. QQ/TT/66/QT are all candidates for a preflop raise. The flop bet is a little small if this is what he has but still makes sense. After I just call he's worried when that diamond comes down and checks. Then when I come betting on the paired board he's happy to raise all in. His action fits this hand perfectly.
Having come to this conclusion I called anyway and was shown 66. I knew this was a horrible call as soon as I made it and was so annoyed at myself as having worked it all out I then went completely against it and called anyway. Oh well...

^^Yup
95% of the time people's actions will fit their hands
once you know what their hand is
. He makes this move with the
every time, and I'm sorry but it's for £6 so laying this down would be ridiculous...

n thoughts, if hes tight and abc hes never bluffing/ value raising like the 8th nuts so fold.
