Opponent has not full stack and likes open limps preflop (like here). What You think about my line here, can we check-call river?

I might have folded this one.
Why did you choose to go for the large bets? denying possible FDs?
The good thing about having betted this large is that you were able to gather info: it's unlikely that villain doesn't have at least trips when it gets to the river.

Specific limpers is that they like call many hands and with flush draw he call vs big bet too and no seldom they bluff with busted flush draw on river so I decide about this line and sizing.

This indicates a passive recreational player. Your line here should be bet bet bet on every street. Why do you check OTR? You are losing a lot of value that way long run. Pots OTR are biggest on average.

If he has flush draw here he more times fold vs bet on river but still bet bluff after my check.

He enters the pot with open limp. Witch means he is passive. So dont rely on that. He will check behind big portion of the time. Even his busted flush draws. So you should bet OTR

Like in answer for Paraibuda limpers too bet bluff on river and only hands he can call and not it is certain are small pocket pairs and Jx (of course not 22 and 33).

limpers too bet bluff on river

This will happen so rarely that it's not worth it. Most of the time they will check. Even a hand without showdown value

When I play it is not so rarely but I don't like bets opponent on river for 1/2 pot.

Nice.
I like the exploitative play and sizing.
However, like Napoleon, I’m not sure if it’s worth checking the river because of the fact that he is passive.

Small bet and fold if he jams river seems ok, since it’s so unlikely that he will go for that kind of agressive bluff on the river.
