Hero bet/calls? checkraises? bet/folds?

i'd just bet here.

that's a scary enough card that lots of crap pairs will check behind but you will still get calls from if you bet. i think NLSoldier made a post on one of Pbob's sexy and how it's a bad idea on a rivered Ace.

i'm calling a raise here, it's close but i think you'll see a random bluff once in 11.5 times to show a profit off the call.

I bet/call. Bet/fold might have a higher EV but I am too much of a puss. I'm pretty sure both bet/call and bet/fold have higher EVs than anything beginning with a check though.

It doesnt look like he has a flush, since he raised the flop to knock people out of the flop. This is assuming he has some measure of competency though.

Also, he probably doesnt think you had a flush either. Since if you did have a flush draw, you likely would have waited for him to bet, then trapped the field with a raise for value.

I think your ace beats his jack or nine. You should probably bet/call the river.
