Just got to this table and posted in CO. But my PT stats show that the villain is a calling station. My question is on the river, since I don't have a club and he checks to me, do I bet out or check down. I think I should check because, being a calling station, I'm not going to bluff him if he has a club.

This looks like one of those situations where you should check because you'll only get called by better hands. If you know that the guy's a serious calling station, it might be better to bet, but I'd have to be pretty sure that he's a board-reading idiot capable of calling down with something like 73o here before I didn't check behind here.

Check the river. He's not folding if he has a club, will likely fold a Q or a middle pair with the 4-flush showing, and you would have to fold to a raise. You still have a decent shot at having the best hand, so see the showdown.
