Check/raise that river.

I don't get this advice, assuming it's serious. With the flop and turn checked through, what would make you think anyone would bet the river?
I would seriously consider betting the turn, though, with the second-nut flush draw (and a draw to the nut royal, heh). If everyone's a calling station, it's a bet for value (4 to 1). If everyone isn't, you're thinning the field in case you hit a jack on the river. If things break right everyone might fold to your bet, although that would rob you of the enjoyment of trying for the royal.
The most important argument for betting the turn: if you do hit your royal flush, you don't have to post it on 2+2 with a measly 4.5 BBet in the pot. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
