Isura,

What is your plan if he re-raises all-in. I'd hate to make a difficult call here. Why not check/call. I don't want to give the villain a chance to take the pot down with a blocker against four straight board.

I call quickly. I'll pay of A4 every day of the week here.
If I check the river, I don't think he will bluff here. I would only check against an aggressive bluffing opponent, and even then I find villains don't like to bluff into 4 straight or 4 flush boards.

Spot on, as I said earlier I think you played this hand perfectly and you have a sound understanding of why. I'm not sure why you posted this except perhaps to show others an ideal line
