How often do you bet missed draws?

I played this hand today at pokerstars. Because the limits are so low you can expect villains to do anything, so I believe there is no use to analyze exactly this hand. However, I like to know what would you do on the river at hands like this.

I raised the flop basically because of my flush draw. I was playing very tight so wasn't surprised that got only one caller. However, if someone would have raised I probably would have folded.

Because I raised the flop I would not put villain on the heart flush draw. So, the turn had to be a good card for me.

I raised the river because I was not so sure my hand was good. Maybe he could fold a two pair or something like that.. On the other hand, he could have made his straight. Would you check? If he was thinking something he would not put me on a busted draw.

This time I got lucky and he folded, but how often do you check missed draws?
