Hmm. I don't really like your turn line here. First of all, what is the exact purpose of the small turn CR? You pretty much never fold out better hands, so you either snap off bluffs or build a big pot OOP against a better hand. If he's on a bluff or betting with 6x or a mid pocket pair, why not call the turn and let him take another shot at it on the river? A check/check river would be great also, as your hand will almost always be good in this situation. Let's look at the case where he has a better hand than yours, like K with a better kicker or trips/boat. If he 3-bets you on the turn, then obviously it's an easy fold. However, with a hand like 2x or 66, I think he calls the CR a good percentage of the time, with the intention of pushing over your river bet, which by that time you will have invested a good chunk of your stack and are getting decent pot odds to call.
The only reason I would employ a turn CR like you did is if I knew villian was a total fish and would pay me off with a worse hand or if villian was a very tricky lag capable of pushing this river with a bluff and a monster with nearly equal efficiency after you call the turn bet. If I were to play it, I would either lead the turn for $10-12 or check/call and either block the river or check/call again, or of course fold.
