On the river I'm thinking, if I check - he would try to bluff me out
with air or he actually has a better hand, which is a lose-lose for me either
way since I can't call here.
But if I bet here, he wouldn't dare to execute a bluff and
would maybe even fold a weak flush or if he re-pops me here,
I would know for sure I'm beat and have an easy fold ... ooor ?
on the board and you have none. I don't expect him to bluff too often on this river and he will usually just check behind low flushes or some non-flush made hands.
